The Gun Writer is first with The worst anti-gun story of 2026 … so far

The untruths (and misspellings) continue in the story’s sub-headline, or subhed, which states: “Let’s concede that 2nd Amendment enthusiasts have won the never-ending argument over fire arms [sic].”

The father of her child, Timmy Ray Macklin Jr., spent 14 years in the Air Force then tried to become a comedian before his death at age 36 (not 37).
