The NYT says assault rifles don't kill people, black males with handguns do, and usually other black males.

I need to save that article.  A lot of uncomfortable truth in there.

Us "gun nuts" have known and have been saying the same thing for years  ;/

Clearly we must ban handguns instead.

Is the author launching a back door argument to ban black males?  OH!  That NYT!

The article doesn't mention how many of the "victims" who were killed had criminal records themselves . . . which I suspect would lead a great many people to put those particular deaths into the "good riddance" category, regardless of race.
