The drug war...over the next decade...will come into the living rooms of various residents of Arizona, New Mexico, California, and Texas. Controls...of any suggested type over any type of weapon...will become a joke. What the Times suggests...might work in NY City....but that’s just about the extent of reality in this case.
It doesn’t work even in NYC. And good point about the violence next door in MX. The Tucson massacre is just a pimple on the American landscape compared to the rivers of blood that are flowing in the country next door and the NYT takes no note of it.
