What I did was I sent one of their editors a very carefully worded letter that had the first few paragraphs not mentioning firearms. What I did was write about how important freedom of speech is to the media, and after that I described how important the constitution is to the freedom of speech. I went on to tell him that there is a section of the populace that is demonized, misunderstood, and not allowed to exercise their right to speak. Then I told him these people are gun owners, and the restrictions that the mainstream press has placed on their right to speak out is a problem of misunderstanding, and that I would like to help change that. I left only an email address on it and told him that if he was interested, to email me. He did, and then through conversations I challenged them to bring a whole crew out, and I said that it would be more interesting to see how many of them would change their views on the gun issue, because people are less impressed by just one reporter changing their mind. He accepted the challenge and rounded up a mixed group of people from the station, and we set up a time. I then contacted the owner of the range I go to most often, and he made sure there was going to be room for them, and that they would all have weapons available. We agreed that AK-47s would be the best, as they were the most "controversial" among people that know nothing of guns, and they are also very reliable.
I think they were honestly quite shocked that indeed we weren't all crazy anti-american terrorists and rednecks.
