In Thursday's striking front page editorial, the newspaper displays an assault rifle, which takes up the entirety of the front cover.
To the right of the picture of the gun are the words, "Make It Stop" with the word "Stop" in red lettering.The Boston newspaper displays the gun at its actual size along with the actual size of the gun's bullet entry as well.

I remember when the globe did that with pressure cookers after the Boston marathon bombing, Oh wait...

Number of people killed with pressure cookers: Six.
Number of people killed by firearms: Thousands upon thousands upon thousands.
False equivalency alert! Now, I'm not necessarily on board with the "ban every gun that looks scary" movement, but Christ, at least TRY to come up with a legitimate argument.
The ban being talked about is on "assault weapons" whatever those are not all firearms
and besides pressure cookers there have been plenty killed by IEDs
False analogy alert! Maybe you should actually come into a thread with an actual argument for once and then you might know what a real argument looks like.

What exactly are "other guns"? Potato guns? BB guns?
Possibly.There are air guns that can take out large animals.Although I would think those would be classified as whatever configuration they are.Like a bb handgun would be a handgun and a bb rifle would be a rifle.

And the Loony left fixates on the gun.....what ignorance and misdirection.

Has anyone besides me noticed that newspaper editors are getting more strident and apocalyptic as they notice with the rise of Trump that few people take them seriously anymore? They are dying as an industry and as a force within this collective, and seem to notice. Their "solution" is to yell louder.
That's what I was thinking. There really are just two categories that all types of guns fall under. Handgun and rifle.

People talk about a lot of things. The actual legislation being put forth doesn't ban any type of weapon. It just stops people on the terrorist watch list from being able to buy weapons without further review.
Now, I know the argument. "If we stop suspected terrorists from buying guns instantly today than tomorrow they may stop you and me from being able to buy guns instantly." I am not overly concerned about that particular slippery slope argument because us gun owners make up a pretty big voting block. The suspected terrorist voting block doesn't hold quite as much sway.

Lots of good Americans are buying lots of AR 15s now
the more the better. The turd in chief is whining about guns again
I disagree.
I would break "rifles" down in to semi-automatic and automatic rifles, I'd add the machine gun category as being separate from rifles of any sort, and I would add shotguns as a distinct class of firearm.
