MSNBC Gets a gun article right
This article talks about US efforts to curb the illegal trafficking of guns to Mexico.
Things we learn:
1. The ATF doesn't play nice, or by the rules. Oh, wait, we already knew that.
2. President Obama is frightened to nominate a head to the ATF. Oh, wait, we already knew that, too.
3. Going after "straw purchases" is not as effective as targeting higher level traffickers. Oh, wait, we already knew that, too.
4. Limiting the sale of certain firearms wouldn't help here because these guns are being bought and sold illegally in the first place. Oh, wait, we already knew that, too.
On second thought, the only thing we learned from this article is that MSNBC all but admits the facts that those of us in the "gun culture" have been stating for years.
