QOTD: "In a stunning op-ed released Friday, the NY Times finally admitted that “assault weapons” are a made-up political term fabricated by anti-gun Democrats.
Op-ed writer Lois Beckett also admitted that once the term was manufactured and used to outlaw a class of weapons that dishonest anti-gun Democrats had used to con an entire nation, nothing happened...
...The op-ed concludes that violent homicides are primarily a poverty issue disproportionately concentrated among small groups of particularly violent young men, a stunning and rare admission that poverty and the drug trade are the primary problem driving murder, not access to firearms.
Don’t expect this sort of stunning admission of the facts to mark a change in cover from the Times, however. The brief bout of lucidity will quickly fade behind the veil of Alzheimer’s liberalism, and we’ll hear the rest of the deranged gaggle of op-ed writers to quickly fall back into the mantra of “Guns are bad, the NRA is evil, we need more taxes, government, citizen control, etc.”
Still… it’s nice to see that every once in a while a real and honest thought can escape from the morass of Manhattan, however fleeting that honest thought may be." --Bob Owens
".The op-ed concludes that violent homicides are primarily a poverty issue disproportionately concentrated among small groups of particularly violent young men"
ReplyDeleteConsidering that there are more poor white people in the US than the entire population of blacks in the US, and that the homicide rate among poor whites hovers around 1 per 100,000 while the rate among ALL blacks is north of 18 per 100,000, what the author is clearly leaving out is the fact that a venn diagram of "small groups of particularly violent young men" and "young black men" is concentric circles.
"Op-ed writer Lois Beckett also admitted that once the term was manufactured and used to outlaw a class of weapons that dishonest anti-gun Democrats had used to con an entire nation, nothing happened..."
ReplyDeleteNot only was there zero statistical movement in crime rates when the "assault weapon" ban went into effect attributable to that ban, there was also zero statistical movement in crime rates when it lapsed a decade later.
Both facts are widely documented and publicly available, and typically completely ignored by legacy/leftist media.
