Meanwhile: the top menu of the site features a category "guns and gear"; I see in the sidebar an advert saying "The Daily Caller is giving away free 25 guns in 25 weeks"; and the comments section is boiling over with jingoism and homophobia.

Oh, and FTA itself:

"The company is now in the crosshairs of gun groups outraged and up in arms over the policy change."

... seriously?! That's a pretty disturbing choice of phraseology in this context.

I think, if this is newsworthy, I might look for a less biased/crackpot source, thanks.
