Not so with guns. The Second Amendment, as applied in the last 30 years or so, has become so perverted, twisted and misused that you have to see it now as the second original sin in the founding of this country, after slavery.
It wasn’t meant to be the instrument for the worst kind of American exceptionalism — setting up the United States as the most violent of developed nations. But it is now. The more we stand out for random mass killings daily, the more the leading cause becomes clear: the warped interpretation of the freedom to own lethal weaponry.

LOL... The MSM is the cancer in the 1st Amendment.
And the Press wasn’t meant to be a Propaganda tool for Socialism.
I would rather like with an abundance of firearms than so-called progressives. Guns do no harm just existing. Progressives corrupt everything.
" setting up the United States as the most violent of developed nations"--
NYT versus Liberty.
Again.
I wonder that they have never considered the second amendment is to protect us from our government? The fact it also protects us from each other is incidental.
LIB: 2ND amendment? Whats that?
TV, radio and the internet were both unknown to and unanticipated by the Framers ... so obviously those things aren’t covered by the 1st the way legitimate modern Arms aren’t covered by the 2nd, right?
I mean, the left wouldn’t want to be inconsistent?
The Right to an Abortion is the cancer in the Constitution.
Oh, wait...
And the NYT building is a cancer in NYC. Needs serious radiation treatment.
(major facepalm)
Of course this little dicktator wannabe doesn’t get it. It’s to protect us from UN-Constitutional power grabs like this leftist movement, this little tyrant author and the NY Times, believe so much in and crave.
CGato
Sez the paper that glorified the Soviet Union in print
Compared to the way they treat the 10th the left positively loves the much hated 2nd.
The CANCERS of overreaching Fed power, the ignoring of the 10th Amendment, the rationalization of discrimination against whites and males in the name of “diversity” The failure of Big Brother to protect borders and sovereignty, letting illegals, criminals, drugs, weapons into the lower 48.
So yeah, the Second Amendment is the problem
Good grief, what ignorant totalitarian bastards.
Surely the NYT and other Democrat media would not object to laws regulating the practice of the First Amendment’s freedom of the press. For example, Fake News and the publishing of classified material should be punished with lengthy prison sentences.
The old gray whore is the cancer that should be cut out and buried far, far at sea like Usana bin Ladin
Anyone writing a screed like this has to have the outlook of a commie dictator, but then this is a NY Slimes guy.
