A counterfeit Fudd?

"Okay, Elmer, let me see your hunting license."
A reader links this article -- "Assault weapons are too easy to find," and appends this comment:
There is a letter in the Saturday Cedar Rapids Gazette calling for stricter gun controls and arguing from the authority of being a hunting sportsman. A typical Fudd? But the letter is full of things that just seem wrong for an actual hunter to say, particularly the sentence, "I do not use bullets that implode upon contact." Even if you assume a simple slip of the tongue saying 'implode' when he meant 'expand' or 'explode' (an extremely odd slip of the tongue), do you know a single actual hunter who doesn't use expanding ammunition? I suspect this 'Vern Miller' is actually a fake Fudd.

What a nitwit , whoever wrote that rubbish know's as much about gun's as I do being a liberal .

Tell the sender of the article that, apparently, his comment was deleted and further commenting was closed.

With that occurrence; to me, the 'letter' becomes nothing more than an editorial wrapped in the false flag of a 'hunter'.

Also sent a letter (with BCC to Mike) to the 'letters manager'.

We'll see if he's got the balls to reply

Letter sent also, specifically starting from the point of "Why are comments closed...?"

False-flag op?

In that poster with the following:

a rock
a knife
an auto
a frying pan
a log
a shovel
a man

The caption at the top should be

"Which one is the weapon?"

The caption at the bottom of the poster should be

"You are the weapon. Everything else is a just a tool."

Not the right Vern Miller there is another one in his mid 60s wrote a letter to the Gazette before the last election with same signature and style "I am a senior better off now than 4 years ago." probably him
