Here’s a small excerpt from the article:
How does the Gun Control Act of 1968 relate to the political debate in recent years, in particular the conversation about mass shootings?
It doesn’t connect up with that phenomenon, which started in 1989 when a gunman shot up an elementary school. [The law] had nothing to say about assault weapons because they weren’t available for civilian purchase and gun owners weren’t interested in assault weapons; sales were tiny until the mid 1980s, when the Chinese dumped cheap assault weapons on the American market and sales began to take off.
It seriously makes me wonder what it takes to be a Times Magazine reporter.
