The New York Times just published the newspaper’s first front page editorial in 95 years. It urged America’s legislators to
outlaw
civilian ownership of semiautomatic battle rifles. This editorial
twisted words to castigate our militia arms as follows: ” These are
weapons of war, barely modified and deliberately marketed as tools of
macho vigilantism and even insurrection.”
The editor went on to urge: ” Certain kinds of weapons, like the
slightly modified combat rifles used in California, and certain kinds of
ammunition, must be
outlawed for civilian ownership. It is possible to define those guns in a clear and effective way and, yes, it would
require Americans who own those kinds of weapons to
give them up for the good of their fellow citizens.”
[Emphasis added.]
Those are fighting words. They’ve made it clear: These statists want
to enact a law forcing civilian disarmament. This would of course be
enforced under color of law, by their recently militarized bully boys in
black. (Formerly in blue.)
I have a few terse points for Publisher Arthur Sulzberger, Jr., Editor Dean Baquet, their subordinate editors of
The New York Times, and all others of their ilk:
