Roger L. Simon: How the ‘New York Times’ and Loretta Lynch Made Me Join the NRA

December 7, 2015 by

I am not a complete stranger to guns. I got my merit badge in riflery when I was a kid and have dropped in on a firing range now and again, learning the basics on Glocks and Berettas. I even went shooting with former Governor Rick Perry of Texas.
