But of course.  
That is the MSM "party line."  No facts will change it.

The NY Times article seems to still focus on access to guns the the 
prime reason for the violence:

"Local police departments blame several factors: the spread of 
methamphetamine use in some Midwestern and Western cities, gangs, 
high poverty and a record number of people being released from 
prison. But the biggest theme, they say, is easy access to guns..."

Most readers will come away blaming the tool used, and the NY Times 
seems to downplay the social factors. Most readers will conclude less 
guns would = less crime from the above.
