Dwight Goes to Town Fisking Those WaPo Gun Pieces

I’ve already put in my two cents worth on the first installment of that Washington Post series on guns used in area crimes and the gun shops where they were originally bought.

But Dwight Brown at Whipped Cream Difficulties digs into the issue like a dachshund pursuing a badger, fisking each piece for a host of questionable assertions, gaps, omissions, and unasked questions. Not once, but twice, with more promised. But would you expect any less of a man with a “FRONT TOWARD ENEMY” t-shirt?

His pimp hand is strong.

If you’re interested in the issue at all, you should give it a read.

Edited to add: And here’s part 3.
