A pretty juvenile statement. "I don't like your views so you should be banned from participating in this website that fosters political discussion. We must shut down all dissent!" Very dictatorial of you.

Regularly calls for tighter gun control, as do most major media outlets that I'm aware of (other than obviously Fox).

OTOH we have no idea if police violence now is higher or lower than in the past (I could see arguments for either one, but police departments sit on this data way too tightly).

But, yes: we have never been safer from gun violence than right now. I don't know why that easily verifiable statement gives people so much heartburn.

Go to any upstate NY gun store and you have to take a number.

Numerous 1st time buyers there too.

Some NYT editor thinks....Why wouldn't a news paper print an actual news story on the front page of a newspaper? Maybe facts aren't on their side?

whining and sobbing on the floor because their gun control pony won't come galloping over the rainbow to trot out before the Senate and House for an affirmative vote.

Taste the rainbow....
