Anti-gun blather in the local newspaper

I do understand the concept.

But in their case they are loudly proclaiming THEIR right to publish whatever they want based on the First Amendment. I just find it ludicrous that they don't see the hypocrisy of allowing the same consideration for people posting THEIR opinions as well. And there have been many statements made in that newspaper not even remotely related to this right being only applied to the federal government. They have proclaimed that it pretty much applies to ANYTHING they want to write, no matter who or what it is about and the First Amendment protects their right to do that.

That is an EXTREMELY small "at least", when the entire document is taken as a whole concerning "honesty".
