They have been trying to disarm law abiding citizens for years. They know that it doesn't save lives or reduce crimes committed by people with a firearm. I don't believe the radical left cares about saving people from being shot anyway. They have an agenda, and they always have had an agenda, and that is to remove firearms from law abiding citizens. The whole of the radical left knows very well that their laws they push for do not have any affect on crime committed with firearms, or removing firearms from criminals hands and they don't care. So I have to wonder if this is one writers opinion in the NYTs. When the radical left left stops trying to remove firearms from law abiding citizens, and promotes ideas that do work. I will believe it when I see it, but for now I don't believe it.
