You may remember that Oatka posted another glowing review of the pseudo-history written by Michael Bellesiles.
The author of the review was Karen Samples of the Kentucky Enquirer. After his posting the review here, TFLers took the time to send Ms. Samples a number of criticisms regarding Bellesiles.
As a result, she promised to revisit the issue and has written a nice column that airs out some of the disagreements with Bellesiles work.

Please take a moment to read the column (the newspaper website can see the hits as interest in a particular topic and increase coverage of pro-gun topics by doing this) and drop Ms. Samples a letter of thanks for allowing us to hear from both sides - a relative rarity concerning the issue of firearms these days.
