WCSH6 has reported on the 'fact' that Mainers want tougher gun laws. Although they haven't done anything wrong they've reported only one side of the issue and I've written a letter to ask them to report both sides if they're going to explore the issue.
I ask other Mainers to do the same.

My letter to WCSH6:
After reading your recent article titled, 'Activists want tougher gun laws in Maine' I would like to point out that there are many issues surrounding these proposed 'feel good' laws that do not do anything to stop criminals only infringe on the Rights of law abiding citizens. It is proven that most criminals obtain firearms by either stealing them or getting a family member that can pass a background check to purchase it for them. If your reporting is truly impartial you should look into the overwhelming amount of Mainers who OPPOSE these proposed 'feel good' laws and why there are so many reasons law abiding citizens don't want them. Even the ACLU has stated they have serious concerns about the way these Bills are written.
We ask that you don't just report one side of the issue but explore both sides if you're going to explore them at all. The Bangor Daily News had a big public backlash for attacking the Rights of Mainers, please keep your reporting impartial and report both sides of the issue. Thank you.
