At Least They’re Honest

For once, The New York Times doesn’t beat around the bush:

Private home-based dealers and gun show armorers should finally be regulated as rampant threats to public safety. Congress must repeal restrictions that prevent a national gun registry and bar local enforcement agencies from sharing in federal tracing information.

Which is not to say that its representation of the facts is much good. The Tiahrt amendment referred to in the second quoted sentence does, in fact, let local law-enforcement agencies receive federal trace information for law-enforcement purposes. What it doesn’t allow is the release of federal trace information to gun-control groups for the sake of political skulduggery.

Yeah. There was a time when the paper carried some weight. I’m sure it still does among those more interested in image than substance but, for serious people, the Enquirerer has more legitimacy.

The NYT long ago lost any semblance of credibility it may once have enjoyed.  I cannot read the editorials - especially those saying anything at all about firearms legislation - for fear of my head spontaneously exploding.  The NYT editorial staff collectively are the poster children for insipid, far left-wing, liberal moonbattery.  Seems they won’t be happy until we’re living in a police state administered by the federal government.  Well I suppose they elected the right man for that job.

I will probably by my new Remmington 870 20 gauge, 18” from Gander Mtn. since they have the best price. It is apparent that one needs to get their home-defense weapons now, before Obama Jeep & Crowd bars the sale of all firearms. His gun-control czars are in place to take away not for safety.

If they wanted to reduce gun violence, then Obama Jeep would attack those in inner cities and keep them from being mentioned on the 11pm news. Gun show people are not the perps nor are they selling to the perps.
