[DOCSpanky]

I wrote my paper regarding a gun buy back near my hometown, and they actually published it! Go see it at.....

I know its a huge address, just copy and paste it into your browser. My letter is about half way down. My real name is Matthew Byrd, and I am from Clermont, FL!!!

God it feels so good. My dad who is a teacher has already had numerous people ask him if it was really his son who wrote the editor.

Congrats, DOC!

It's a well written letter that brings up a very good point against these so-called "buy-backs."

Congratulations DocSpanky. Well-written and to the point.

Keep writing folks, if for no other reason than "something will stick to the wall". The side benefit is that if published, it might make a fence-sitter or two mutter, "Geez, I never thought of that."

"If it saves just one fence-sitter." (I know, I know )

Good job, Doc!

Good job, Doc.

Congratulations, Doc. A word of caution, though: letter-writing can be addictive. Every time you're able to score a point against the anti's, the adrenalin flows and you're thinking about another letter. Then another. I've got a file folder filled with letters, some published, some not, dating back to 1992.

Take the fight to them.
