But remember, there is no anti-gun bias in the media:
Since November 2001, a group called Iowans for the Prevention of Gun Violence has been trying to persuade newspapers to not accept classified ads for guns from people who are not licensed dealers.This is like refusing to accept ads for used cars because it cuts down on car accidents.Wednesday, its "Campaign to Close the Newspaper Loophole" announced the policy had been adopted by four more Ohio papers, including the Cincinnati Enquirer and its joint operating agency partner the Cincinnati Post, as well as three Iowa dailies and a Nebraska daily.
The group said since its campaign began, a total of 26 papers with a combined circulation of 5.8 million have changed their policy after being contacted by the group.

No, no. Guns are evil.
Cars should be a government-subsidized right.

Sigh.
Eventually it'll be the "FFL Loophole": Citizens are shockingly allowed to purchase arms from licensed dealers after showing conclusive identification and submitting to a background check.
To these turds, that citizens are armed in any capacity is a "loophole".

Posted by: Steve Scudder at June 10, 2005 12:48 PMThis is america, newspapers have every right to choose what they will or will not publish.
They don't print classifieds for free, either.
Whatever you do, don't let this thing go away quietly, make enough noise and McCain/Fiengold will decide to ride it as far as they can, to further their careers.
