This is unbelievable in journalism.

The Assault Weapons Ban worked. We know for a fact it did. We know that background checks work, except, when mothers think their young men are mentally healthy enough to own them, as happened in Sandy Hook and now in Oregon.

But, the statement in a New York Times article is hideous.

In 2012, only 322 people were murdered with any kind of rifle, F.B.I. data shows (click here)

ONLY. Only 322 people were murdered by big scary guns. ONLY.

That is a political statement, so don't start that President Obama is demanding gun control as a political focus.

The facts are simple. The US Constitution ALLOWS gun control. More people are dying in mass shooting than ever before in history of this country AND the shooters are white Caucasian young men that define their masculinity with Big Scary Guns. 

The Assault Weapons Ban needs to be reinstituted and the age of participating in gun purchases doesn't occur until age 21.

The Assault Weapon Ban will prevent mommies and daddies from giving their disturbed children a method of causing death.
