Economist article on “The Mill”

[Junior314]

It’s behind a paywall… that said they wrote a hit piece and in the part you can read moan about the reporter getting kicked out once they realized she was there.

Gee I wonder why…

Massachusetts is not the gun-control beacon it once was

The state’s mass exporting of firearms has helped fuel the national crisis

I'm pretty sure, from the way it's written, this is another Sarah Ryley piece. Of course, since the Economist eschews bylines, we may never know.

 

[not new guy]

Apparently the Economist is still a left-wing rag, right up there with the Globe itself. Nothing new, nothing shocking.

Lol did someone tell the shitty author “hey retard, you guys basically won there, are you not paying attention?”

As others noted, when this was brought up in the ongoing omnibus law thread, the timing is impeccable. Auspicious even?

A more conspiracy-minded individual might even venture that this was written to release in response to that bill, to scare our neighbors into clamoring to their legislators to "pass it now!"

There are no coincidences.

Probably.

I just found the part where they are upset about getting kicked out funny. The way it’s written makes it even funnier.

Written by a whiney little bitch. Probably pisses their knickers every time they drive by the exit.

Shouldn't they be happy to have been kicked out? According to them its such a dangerous place and essentially the lawless wild west. Outside they are safe in the liberal utopia where “Joe Biden won by a 45 point margin”!

Absolutely timed to coincide with the new law, which tells you that the MA reps who “drafted” the law were just submitting daddies work for the science fair. Should be interesting to look into the sudden bump in campaign finance from national orgs all of these sponsors of the law will suddenly show. My bet is one of them gets a new national post from Biden, too making more than $87,000 per year. Limited growth for senate runs or governorships for white males in 2023, so they need some form of exit strategy. None of them want to be state reps forever.

Doesn’t really seem like and article, feels like someone proselytizing the antigun religion at a cocktail party. Kind of we need to keep vigilant as this sneaky gun geeks are always working to get one by us…

I've been an Economist subscriber for decades. The Economist has always had a very British attitude towards firearms and has never tried to create an illusion of being impartial. Given that the article cites 2020 data when 2022 data is available at the CDC, I suspect this piece had been lying around for at least a year, waiting for an update to be newsworthy.

I'm sure there are people out there who are afraid to drive by the mill. Probably the same people who wear masks in their cars.

* alone

just had to add the “alone”

This article is completely without content. Basically a disorganized lazy-lib rehashing of the Globe article.

Waiting for the Globe article on the Londonderry range.
