NY Times on the Warpath for Gun Control
An Islamic terrorist attack this month in San Bernardino, Calif., has inspired the New York Times’ editorial board to go hard after gun control, as the liberal paper has published eight pieces in the past 13 days decrying America’s culture of gun violence.
On Dec. 2, as Americans slowly learned more about the two terrorists who shot and killed 14 people in a California-run facility for persons with mental disabilities, the Times was quick to denounce the “gun lobby” and pro-Second Amendment lawmakers.
“Are these atrocities truly beyond the power of government and its politicians to stop?” the editorial board asked in a post titled “The Horror in San Bernardino.”
“That tragically has been the case as political leaders offer little more than platitudes after each shootout, while the nation is left to numbly anticipate the next killing spree,” the board added. “Those who reject sensible gun controls will say anything to avoid implicating the growth in the civilian arsenal.”
The Times suggested that “Republican politicians” and “the gun lobby” made the attack in California possible.
