After 30 Years Of Lies, NY Times Admits “Assault Weapons Are A Myth”,

Be forewarned, this is a 1 time glitch...soon to be forgotten or overruled by little pinch

[Graybeard58]

“assault weapon” - any semi auto or auto gun that looks frightening to a liberal.

Is it just me, or is the NYT slowly departing from it’s Stalinist, Leftist line lately?

I still think its a rag and this could be some kind of short term ploy.

[Conscience of a Conservative]

It was an op-ed, which typically don’t represent the position of the editorial board of the paper itself. The NY Times has admitted nothing, and will surely be back pushing some sort of assault weapon ban soon enough.

How long had this particular writer been working for the NYT before being let go?

FTA: “Assault weapons” is a made-up term, used to scare citizens into thinking that military weapons were commonly being sold and used on the streets of the United States.

  "The semi-automatic weapons' menacing 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 that chance of public support for
   restrictions on these weapons."
                       --  Josh Sugarman, 1988, Violence Policy Center.

All "liberals" lie some of the time; some "liberals" lie all of the time.
