Boston Globe DC Gun Ban

[Riverside]

In checking the headlines I found this story posted in the Boston Globe. It is rather a brazen topic for the Globe since it states plainly that the rate of gun violence sky-rocketed in DC since the gun ban has been in effect.
Best Regards.

Good article. Sounds like someone at the Glob finally "Gets it'.

"It's a pretty common-sense idea that the more guns there are around, the more gun violence you'll have," D.C. Attorney General Linda Singer said.

Yeah, it's also a pretty common-sense idea that a vehicle that weighs 410,000 lbs couldn't possibly fly like a bird... but the 747 flies a whole lot better than her "common-sense idea" does.

The Boston Globe, is owned lock stock and barrel by the New York Times.

The article by Paul Duggan of the Washington Post is a re-hash of the same article published in the Washington Post, but with the usual Boston Globe/New York Times anti-constitutional agenda.

The original Washington Post article is located here http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/12/AR2007111201818.html and was entitled "Crime Data Underscore Limits Of D.C. Gun Ban's Effectiveness".

Notice a little difference in the titles? Now tell us again that the Boston Globe / New York Times reporting isn't biased...
