Our item last week about a Stop Handgun Violence billboard generated plenty of spirited debate. Today, we find a pro-gun group, the Second Amendment Foundation, taking aim (hey, the Boston Herald said it, too) at Boston Globe business columnist Steve Bailey for supposedly violating federal law in 2005 while researching an anti-gun column. The group fired off a letter to the Globe editor; it has not (yet) put up a 250-foot billboard. From a brand-image standpoint, I’m not sure the pro-gun folks want this kind of publicity.
