Apparently, the buzz about guns while I was busy not blogging is that the NYT gets a gun issue wrong and that they are (gasp!) biased a smidgen. It’s true, take my word for it. Says the NYT:

America’s confusion about the Second Amendment is now nearly total. An amendment that ensures a collective right to bear arms has been misread in one legislature after another — often in the face of strong public disapproval — as a law guaranteeing an individual’s right to carry a weapon in public.

I don’t really care about carrying in parks. I figure if you’re near some large wildlife capable of hurting you and you’re not armed, you’re stupid. Practice civil disobedience, I do. But the only one confused about the Second Amendment is the NYT. I issue the same challenge to them that I issue to every ignoramus who makes the claim that the second amendment doesn’t mean what it says:

Find one document from the time of the founding that related to the debate and ratification of the Constitution and Bill of Rights that supports this contention.

Just one. I’ll wait. Extreme Mortman says:

Wheter (sic) Allen’s bill is good policy should make for robust debate. But is it too much to ask the New York Times to put facts first and mockery second? Probably

But he says it about something else.
