The New York Times' 'right to kill' story, written by Mike McIntire, misinterprets the Second Amendment, claiming it doesn't explicitly mention an individual right to bear arms for self-defense. However, the amendment's text clearly states 'the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.' McIntire also misrepresents the contemporary debate, attributing the 'collective right' argument to gun rights advocates instead of gun control advocates. The article also contains flawed statistics and historical inaccuracies regarding stand-your-ground laws and their impact on homicide rates.
