Crappy and vacuous support for a good idea

Repeal the Second Amendment in the NYT.

There is no there there.

And is this true or just another liberal fantasy of persecution, Islamophobia, and racism?

I’m not the first pundit to point out that if a “Mohammad Paddock” had purchased dozens of firearms and thousands of rounds of ammunition and then checked himself into a suite at the Mandalay Bay with direct views to a nearby music festival, somebody at the local F.B.I. field office would have noticed.

On the other hand, given LV is a really big gun-show and gun-rights city just chock full of white people who love their guns, then, even if it is true, so what?

Is the idea supposed to be that this guy was some sort of right wing terrorist who got a free pass?

Or maybe that white people in general who want to slaughter large numbers of people get a free pass?

Really?
