NYT Blames Roof's Gun Purchase on 'Loopholes' in System, Law
Apparently nothing is ever the government's fault during the Obama era — even a clear failure by authorities to prevent an alleged mass-murderer from acquiring a gun, and their failure to retrieve it once he obtained it.

Barnicle Bemoaned Police Militarization, Now Calls for National Guard?
What does it say about Mike Barnicle that, in a discussion of the surge in inner-city homicide, Al Sharpton sounded a lot more reasonable than the former Boston Globe columnist?

Networks Blame Guns for Violent Fourth of July Weekend in Chicago

CNN Touts Another Panel of Voters Who Slant Heavily Liberal
A week after CNN's New Day aired a pair of pre-recorded segments focusing on an allegedly balanced group of New Hampshire voters who ended up displaying political views stacked heavily in the liberal direction, this week's batch of voters -- this time from Charleston, South Carolina -- appear even more slanted to the left in spite of suggestions of a balanced sample with equal numbers of…
New Yorker Writer: ‘Guns Don’t Protect Anyone From Anything’
Racial issues, not gun issues, understandably have been at the forefront of most media coverage of the Charleston massacre, but Adam Gopnik suggests that in any such mass shooting, the firearm is the salient factor.
