Ambiguity–or Stupidity Because They Don’t Realize What They Proved?

From the New York Slimes comes this enigmatically presented factoid:

Criminal histories and documented mental health problems did not prevent at least eight of the gunmen in 14 recent mass shootings from obtaining their weapons, after federal background checks led to approval of the purchases of the guns used.”

The article then discusses each of the 14 “gunmen’s” quest for his weapons and whether Leviathan tried to disarm him as enthusiastically as it did his victims.

How did this story make it into the Slimes? Because the pattern that emerges from those 14 histories demonstrates that laws to control and monitor buyers of guns fail to disclose those with murderous intent–as any serf could have told the paper’s hopelessly out-of-touch, vehemently anti-Second Amendment editors. So here’s my question: is the Slimes arguing for no guns at all–excepting trigger-happy cops and others of the State’s enforcers, naturally–or is it trying to arrest its slide towards bankruptcy and complete irrelevance with actual facts instead of its editors’ opinions disguised as facts?

Thanks to Roy for the link.
