No, people are the problem.I actually agree with that NY Times article. Focusing on "Assault" weapons is bullshit, true assault weapons have been illegal forever so the more recent bans are just weak attempts at banning a certain kind of weapon that is mostly cosmetic. Common sense gun reforms don't focus on "assault weapons" because it's all guns and the number of guns that is the problem.
No, people are the problem.
From the NYT article:David M. Kennedy, the director of the Center for Crime Prevention and Control at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, argues that the issue of gun violence can seem enormous and intractable without first addressing poverty or drugs. A closer look at the social networks of neighborhoods most afflicted, he says, often shows that only a small number of men drive most of the violence. Identify them and change their behavior, and it’s possible to have an immediate impact.
Working with Professor Kennedy, and building on successes in other cities, New Orleans is now identifying the young men most at risk and intervening to help them get jobs. How well this strategy will work in the long term remains to be seen.

I think the Soviets were superior in engineering and design (at least socially)Those popular "assault weapons" were immediately a joke to anyone with any military experience. The defining characteristics of true assault weapons are the ability to fire full auto or selected-auto with cheap, lightweight ammo so they can make a lot of noise and keep the enemy's head down, and the user can carry a large amount of ammo. The main market for those things was armchair Rambos. The soul-daddy of the true assault weapons was the AK47, that was engineered simply enough that the prototypes were made in a railroad maintenance shop. It forsook accuracy and penetrating power for availability and the shock and noise factor. Cheap,reliable and noisy, but no Rambutt could legally own an AK without a full-bore collector's license.
Do you know where they are, or are you consulting with the expert?Absolutely.
Glad we agree.You got that right; everyone whose knee jerk reaction to any and all gun reforms is to cry like a baby, is the problem.
We know where we want to go...Wyoming and or Arizona.Do you know where they are, or are you consulting with the expert?
Perhaps this explains how Slick Willie dodged the numerous accusations of sexual assault, groping & rape that he seemingly got away with.I feel inadequate to describe the irony I feel on hearing that Ken Starr, Bill Clinton's favorite sexual-assault independent investigator, has resigned as President and law professor at Baylor University after an independent investigation found that Baylor systematically discourages student reports of sexual assaults.

How so? The Starr Report was cited by the House as the primary evidence in their impeachment actions against Clinton.
It's okay my little editor. Let's not consider emphasis an error.I couldn't help but notice that the original article in the NY Times did not have any paragraphs bolded except for the "Correction" line. Who did that for you?
Bullets are the problem tootse.I actually agree with that NY Times article.

Surprise, surprise, surprise.........
A former Navy machinist mate who admitted taking photos inside a nuclear submarine was sentenced to a year in prison Friday, with a federal judge rebuffing a request for probation in light of authorities deciding not to prosecute Hillary Clinton for mishandling classified information on a private email server as secretary of state.
Kristian Saucier’s attorneys argued in a court filing last week that Clinton had been "engaging in acts similar to Mr. Saucier" with information of much higher classification. It would be "unjust and unfair for Mr. Saucier to receive any sentence other than probation for a crime those more powerful than him will likely avoid," attorney Derrick Hogan wrote.
