The conclusion that a rational person would arrive at after reading the New York Times piece is that the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) is broken, but rational people aren&#8217;t the target audience of the New York Times. Most of the murderers in the Times article had mental problems that didn&#8217;t appear when the FBI ran them through the NICS. If that&#8217;s the problem, that&#8217;s what legislators need to fix, but that is too difficult to expect prosecutors and legislators to work together on &#8211; it&#8217;s just much easier to demonize scary black guns and the law abiding owners of scary black guns. For some reason, the Left would prefer to take rights away from law abiding citizens than to restrict criminals. Isn&#8217;t that the exact opposite of the traditional meaning of &#8220;liberalism&#8221;?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chief Tango sends us a link to the New York Times which catalogs the last 13 &hellip; <a title=\"New York Times; How they got their guns\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=62155\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">New York Times; How they got their guns<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":54659,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[82,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-62155","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gun-grabbing-fascists","category-media"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62155","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=62155"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62155\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/54659"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=62155"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=62155"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=62155"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
