The New York Times Has an Embarrassing Epiphany About 'Gun-free Zones'
Matt Margolis
We've all seen signs announcing a particular place is a "gun-free
zone." While these signs are supposed to reduce gun violence by
informing would-be shooters that their firearms aren't welcome on the
site, the reality is that they are instead beacons alerting criminals
to soft targets.
And it looks like the New York Times may have finally figured that
out. After a murder took place in Times Square on Thursday night, the
paper openly questioned why posted signs banning guns from the area
didn't stop the violence. "The shooting was the first since the
creation of the expansive, signposted zone, the police said in a
statement, and it immediately renewed questions about whether such a designation can truly protect the area," the so-called paper of record reported.
"People feel emboldened to carry guns on the street," said Tom Harris,
a retired New York City police inspector and the president of the
Times Square Alliance, told the Times. "A gun-free zone is not going
to stop a criminal from carrying a gun."
I have to admit I'm shocked that the New York Times acknowledged this.
While I'd like to give them credit for that, the fact is the
inefficacy of gun-free zones is something conservative media has been pointing out for years.
In fact, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the Pulse nightclub,
Sandy Hook Elementary School, and Virginia Tech University were all
targeted by mass shooters despite being gun-free zones - and that's
barely scratching the surface. According to a 2018 study by the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC), a whopping 97.8% of mass shootings
over a 68-year period occurred in "gun-free zones."
So, while it's great that the New York Times finally has acknowledged
that gun-free zones are useless, this epiphany is decades too late.

One of the requirements of expository prose (e.g.: a newspaper) is
that it *must* express bias.
There has never been an essay written on
the fact that Wednesday is followed by Thursday. There is no such
animal as a news medium that has no editorial bias... such a thing
cannot be.

one and want is pushed down or out altogether.
When a person speaks well or disdainfully of a medium simply reflects
how closely the medium's editorial position agrees (or disagrees) with
the person's bias.
All queer clubs are targets. It's just a matter of time before the masses rise up and burn them all to the ground.
Where is the bias?
Stuff your pocket bazooka up your own arse, fucking subhuman gun fucker >retard and ask someone to pull the trigger repeatedly!
FOAD!
PLONK!

There is NO bias on my part. However that only covers sane and rational >humans...thus sadly in that collective you and your insanity t.p.g. ilk

You seem to be unusually upset about my posting in your little
newsgroup. You need to let everyone know how this infuriates you.
First, you need to get your message out to the public. Obviously, you
need some community support.
Holding up a sign at passing cars isn't going to do much. People
have to know you're REALLY serious, and they should pay attention to
you.
Now, how are you going to do THAT?
Well, I have a suggestion. First, locate your local courthouse. It's
usually in your county seat.
Call the TV stations in your area and tell them you're going to make
an important announcement regarding trolling, at dusk. Dusk is very >important as you will soon see.
Get some gasoline or lighter fluid in a squeeze bottle and put it in a >briefcase. Climb to the middle of the steps. When the time comes and
the TV crews are set up and standing by, squirt yourself ALL OVER with >gasoline and light yourself on fire.
This is the important part- DO NOT SCREAM IN PAIN. You just need to
sit there quietly and burn. I guarantee you, you will have everyone's >attention, especially when you sit there all spooky and quiet.
The rivulets of your rendered fat will begin dripping down the steps
and coursing through the gutters of Australia, bringing your message
to a grateful nation.

Oh, that armchair envy of yours keep on resurfacing.
I suppose, your hard park-bench accommodation across that large bottle
shop in Shiboxville where you obtain your endless supply of Goon Bags
fills aggravate you to no end thus that limitless hate and envy towards me. It must be really hurting your alt-right ego that even a bloody
communist can afford to sit in a nice armchair in a comfy home laughing
at your posted idiocy while you are banished to be exposed to the nasty elements sleeping on or under a dilapidated park bench in a remote and unattractive suburb of Sydney that mostly just silly bogans call home.

Yeah!
I can't figure out why is he attacking me in such a retarded manner
(could it be that he really is a full retard?). ;-)
On one hand, his attacks have always centered on who I was (i.e. that horribly hated bloody communist), and hardly about what topic I have presented for discussion.
On the other hand he pretends that I am no real communist. >
So who the bloody hell does he think I am?
LOL!
