I actually agree with the summary you provided, but I think the article it self way over steps that and I don't think their sources back up a lot of the claims they make inside the article. The one I quoted above is the most obvious, but the other two things I take issue with are: 1. They seem to attribute the rising gun violence to covid, but when you look at the data they provided on school shootings, it's been rising since 2015. The number we're at now just looks like a continuation of that trend. 2. The fact about a third of their sources are just other NYT articles written by their colleagues. Chasing down the true source behind some of their claims is near impossible since it's often multiple levels of people interpreting the data.
