New York Times kicks off NRA convention coverage with massive lie

As I noted when the New York Daily News peddled this same falsehood earlier in the week, the only guns that will have their firing pins removed are those that are presented for examination within the convention’s attendant trade show. This is standard practice. Why? Well, because the trade show guns are not for sale; they are not there to be fired; and they cannot be removed from their display cases. They exist only to demonstrate to attendees what each company has on offer. 

This is a pathetic lie, designed to imply “hypocrisy” where there is none. America’s “paper of record” should fix its editorial.
