NY Times Editorial re PLCAA [View all]

The Times had an editorial a few days ago attacking the PLCAA and arguing in favor of the lawsuit filed by family members of the Sandy Hook victims against Remington. Although this one wasn't completely inaccurate, the Times referred to the weapon used as capable of "rapid burst" fire, which means the Times staff is either being intentionally misleading or isn't doing the research necessary to understand the topic on which they opine.
