Gun owners are not terrorists or anarchists

Regarding the so-called "cartoon" in the Gazette recently calling firearms owners "yahoo hunters, terrorists, anarchists" and basically idiots, I was very offended. I am an avid hunter and target shooter, as is my son.

Regarding the so-called "cartoon" in the Gazette recently calling firearms owners "yahoo hunters, terrorists, anarchists" and basically idiots, I was very offended. I am an avid hunter and target shooter, as is my son. We are both educated, hardworking and law abiding citizens of St. Albert. We are not terrorists or yahoos.

At the gun range that I go to, there is a young man that is a quadriplegic. He has limited use of his hands, and has a rig set up on his wheelchair that allows him to target shoot. His mother comes out to help him.

What would you classify him as, the anarchist, or the terrorist?

That so called cartoon was uncalled for, you should have better judgment, particularly in light of recent terrorist attacks both here and overseas.
