New York Times Wants to 'Keep Gun Possession to a Minimum'

From the summary of the New York Times's Sunday editorial, "The Hard Work of Gun Control":

Cities and states should counter legal challenges to handgun bans with tough but sensible laws that keep gun possession to a minimum.

I'm just astonished by the last six words, "keep gun possession to a minimum."

You don't have to be a gun owner to understand that if the state can take away the ability for a citizen to protect themselves in their own home, there's nothing the state can't take away. And the Times is supporting the move by the City of Chicago to pass a new gun control measure that will survive challenges. And once again we see how badly the far left-wing New York Times is on the issue. See Rasmussen, for example, "67% Say Cities Have No Right to Ban Handguns."

And see Glenn Reynolds, at Washington Examiner, "Lessons of McDonald v. Chicago":

The massive campaign by gun control groups -- and their media allies, who were legion -- to "denormalize" gun ownership, and present it as something dangerous, deviant and subject to regulation at the whims of the government, has failed, with the Supreme Court explicitly saying that gun ownership by private citizens is a fundamental part of our system of liberty.
