Why is the point of this article to jerk off the fucking useful idiot Pincus?
I'm not sure it is.
Now, I know that, to many of you, Pincus is persona non grata after he penned a recent op-ed. I’ve addressed those arguments and I’m not going to rehash them. I will say that he’s right. Magazine restrictions don’t do jack about suicides, which account for the lion’s share of the total number of “gun deaths” in this country, about two-thirds to be exact.
If you’re going to claim to care about suicides, magazine restrictions aren’t likely to work.
There are a lot of issues here, and while it may look like Pincus is outright siding with anti-gunners, I think he’s included to be more of a counter-balance. He’s also likely included because he’s a name that has been linked with being willing to negotiate on guns, even if that doesn’t accurately portray his position.
The question is, will this be a new approach for gun controllers?
