Gun debate one-sided

Does the Deseret Morning News editorial board understand both sides of the gun-control debate?

It appears it listens only to former Managing Editor LaVarr Webb and his associates, paid lobbyists for local gun-control advocates. It is a conflict of interest and lapse in journalistic ethics to not disclose the source of your (mis)information on gun issues and indifference to opposing views.

Polls showing anti-gun sentiment are not surprising, given the incessant propaganda in the media and the simplistic nature of poll questions. Fortunately the legislators "ignoring public opinion" actually read bills, listen to input from both sides and debate the issues.
