NYT unhappy that more isn’t being done to trample your civil liberties
The Paper of Making Up The Record laments the sorry state of gun control. They’re upset that, by law, there’s no database of gun owners. And they blame congress’ obstructionism for that and that there’s no ATF director.

They would think sorry state if they had friends prosecuted for petty offenses such as slam fires….

These so-called liberals are no longer liberal when it comes to Constitutionally-protected civil liberties. They are only liberal when it comes to the government taking liberites to selectively operate outside of its “delegated powers”.

I seem to remember that before Clinton came into office the number of FFL’s was in the 250,000 range. If the same number of agents – 600 – are now supervising 115,000 FFL, then their job has gotten easier and not harder unlike the impression given by the NYT.

I’m surprised they’re not blaming it on Bush.

That part at the end of the article saying that it is a bad thing that physical evidence and proof of state-of-mind intent to do business with a prohibited person would be needed to secure a conviction. I read that and I’m thinking “so, First Amendment protections for thee, but no Fourth Amendment for me? F-U, NYT.”

Heh, the vaunted New York Times let in a little grammar error while they were venting about eeeevil guns. They wrote: “Each year the center receives 300,000 inquiries from police officers’ trying to track weapons from tens of thousands of gun deaths.” “Police officers” in this sentence is a plural noun, not a possessive. Did this also appear in their print editions?
