Here is what I wrote:

Dear Editor:

I am appalled at the disparaging cartoon portraying NRA members as ignorant, unwashed slobs. You do your readership a great disservice by this sort of pejorative characterization. Your cartoon amounts to nothing more than childish name-calling. When an incompetent debater has no grist or foundation for his position, he will resort to name-calling and insults. It is there that you find yourself on this issue. I should think you could do better.
