“The original name of Mr. Horwitz’[s] group was the National Coalition to Ban Handguns. There is no reason to think that goal has changed, yet he presents the ‘gun show loophole’ argument as the centerpiece of his legislative agenda � even though a Bureau of Justice Statistics survey concluded that over 99% of criminals get their guns from other sources. I am glad he has ‘resolved to do all [he] can to prevent another similar tragedy,’ but with thousands of citizen disarmament laws on the books at the federal, state and municipal level, I’m wondering when enough will be enough. In truth, we’ve tried things Mr. Horwitz’[s] way, and all anyone will ever be able to do continuing down that path is ‘watch in horror.’ And go to memorials.” (04/16/08) Link: http://topics.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/04/16/arguing-for-gun-choice/ Filed under: 2AM Commentary and RRND Commentary | Report Bad Link Bookmark this post in Furl or Del.icio.us | |
