The lies continue
This unsigned editorial in the WaPo is rather full of lies and misinformation.
Gun Industry Immunity: You’re wrong. The sniper got the gun by stealing it.
Assault Weapons Ban: Does not ban 19 specific military style assault weapons. It bans certain aesthetic features rifles can have.
Background Checks: I’m indifferent as to whether records should be destroyed after 24 hours of a sale of a gun.
Gun Show Loophole: There is no gun show loophole. There is only the right of citizens to engage in lawful commerce.
It’s probably a good thing that the author refused to sign it.

Re the “gun show loophole” (which it’s not), I generally refer to it as the private transfer exception (which it is). Unfortunately, neither exists in CA.
