St. Louis Post-Dispatch: “Why is a nice guy like Dan being boss of a very pro-gun website?”

The headline above sits atop the dead tree version of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch profile of TTAG’s main man Dan Zimmerman. After a reader kvetched about the inherent anti-gun bias the Dispatch’s online editor dispatched it in favor of Olivette man the force behind TheTruthAboutGuns.com. I prefer the original. It’s more . . . Zimmermanesque. Either way, it’s clear that the Missouri newspaper—known for its anti-gun views—worked hard to give a fair shake to the Managing Editor of the world’s most popular firearms blog. The article’s a respectful look at Dan’s work for TTAG including his views on gun control (“pretty close to a 2A absolutist”) and a visit to a local gun range (“He is a good shot”). There’s a jarring digression into the Moms Demand Action’s “gun bullying” charge against pro-2A types, but the overall impression is positive. Well, for us. The comments section is filling with the usual anti attacks. Scrooge that I am, I’d appreciate if you could give Dan some love below. ‘Cause he ain’t getting a raise. Merry Christmas, Mr. Zimmerman.
