Now it all adds up, we just needed WP to point it out.

Legal gun owners - “largely peaceful”.

[NohSpinZone]

Don’t these scum ever get tired of just openly lying through their teeth all the frickin’ time? Or do they have the Costanza thing about “it’s not a lie if you believe it” going on?

[Be Free]

Total BS - the perpetrators of the shootings aren’t going to show up in the gun-purchase numbers from dealers and background checks, ‘cause that’s not where they get their guns.

[P-Marlowe]

The truth is hidden in there somewhere. This is either very poorly written or very cleverly written. Actually it’s probably both.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

WP: Blah blah blah gun nuts violence blah blah blah.

[Midwesterner53]

Let me help the WP understand the equation: Gun violence by street thugs results in Gun Buying by law abiding citizens. There, I hope that is a bit more clear for them.

[Campion]

Correlation is not causality, Wapo morons.

Pure unadulterated horse s#*t!

“That gun-buying binge is associated with a significant increase in gun violence across the United States.”

Yes, it is most definitely “associated with a significant increase in gun violence across the United States“ because they bought the guns DUE TO A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN GUN VIOLENCE ACROSS THE UNITED STATES!

Manipulators to the nth degree...

[cnsmom]

Gun sales is the only poll that matters.

[JohnBrowdie]

no, the spike in gun buying followed the rise in violent crime and social upheaval.

[Skywise]

Lies and propaganda.

[Midwesterner53]

“Spike in violent crime follows rise in gun-buying amid social upheaval” That is a deliberate lie by the Post. The rise in gun buying followed the social upheaval, commonly called riots. Legal gun buying in no way contributed to the riots, not for an instant.

Sure, Jan/WaPo/Karen. 🙄

[cdcdawg]

Yes, WP, it’s those whitesupreemistkkknaziboogaloopeoplefromDeliverance driving into the cities to hunt innocent black people on the express orders of the badorangeman President. Sure, that seems totally plausible.

[Joe Brower]

And all these urban hellholes that are shooting themselves up have police departments who have been told to do nothing in the face of violent criminality, led by democrat Marxist-sympathizers who have aided and abetted the rioters and looters for two months now.

Nah, that couldn't have anything to do with it.

Does anyone have the full text, I will not subscribe to WaPo???
