Another day, another series of embarrassing errors and obfuscations by gun controllers who are ignorant of how guns, and the laws that seek to control them, actually work.
In its quest to drive up gun sales even further and make gun control even less popular, the New York Times published yet another overwrought editorial on Friday demanding more gun control. Here's how the editorial, given the very measured and objective title of "Gunmakers' War Profiteering on the Homefront," began:

The New Yawk Times hasn’t a clue about how a paper clip works.

I do. Many folks took a 8 inch post hole digger, went out in the woods, preferably on remote public property, dug a hole about a foot deeper than the length of your “assault rifle”, built a PVC pipe container for it. Then took the rifle, with some ammo, maybe a pistol, knife, whatever will fit. Then placed it all in a vacu-seal pouch, sealed it up, placed it in the container and buried it.
Now the above would be for backup spares. There should always be one a little closer locked and loaded.
...Why any civilian would need this weapon, designed to pierce concrete bunkers and armored personnel carriers...

The NY Slimes is very well versed in the Joseph Goebbels school of journalism. Tell a lie often enough, and it will be believed as the truth. Combine that with the ignorance of their trusting readers, and the NY Slimes can get away with anything, up to and including enabling and praising genocide.
One of their favorite lies is about “assault weapons,” using Josh Sugarmann’s famous quote, not unlike those of Jonathon Gruber, when he admitted that to pass Obamacare, they had to depend on the “stupidity of the American voter.”
Realizing how easily how his propaganda, combined with the leftist media, could help him get some guns banned as a start, he stated, “Assault weapons’ meancing looks, coupled with the public’s confusion over fully-automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons — anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun — can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons.”
There’s a reason that leftists coined the term “useful idiots” for the vast majority of their supporters.
