The “damage” done by guns is insignificant compared to that done by the NYT due to it’s ability to hide behind the 1st ammendment.
For a body that portends to be steeped in such tradition and having thorough, almost encyclopaedic knowledge of it, they have conveniently forgotten what a militia was in 1791.
I defy the NYT editorial board to produce one piece of causal proof that more guns in homes exactly equals more deaths. I can provide plenty of evidence of incidents where guns in the home have SAVED lives.
The NYT, as you point out, hides behind the 1st amendment but would rather the 2nd go away entirely.
But even if you disagree with all of this, ask yourself ONE question: What possible reason would the liberals have for wanting to completely disarm the populace??

I wonder where the figure 30,000 per year killed by guns comes from.
And I submit that the cost in lives, by the NY Times steadfast support of the lies of Walter Durante during the 1930s, straight through to today, as well as their blatant disregard for national security in their publishing of stories, is far greater than the number of lives lost through the criminal misuse of guns during the same time. How many millions of lives were lost due to the willful propaganda of Joseph Stalin by the NY Times?
The NY Times has FAR more blood on their hands.
