It is a moral outrage and a national disgrace that civilians can legally purchase weapons designed specifically to kill people with brutal speed and efficiency. These are weapons of war, barely modified and deliberately marketed as tools of macho vigilantism and even insurrection. America’s elected leaders offer prayers for gun victims and then, callously and without fear of consequence, reject the most basic restrictions on weapons of mass killing, as they did on Thursday. They distract us with arguments about the word terrorism. Let’s be clear: These spree killings are all, in their own ways, acts of terrorism.
The left is now mixing terrorism and mass shootings to push a narrative to eviscerate the Second Amendment.
No right is unlimited and immune from reasonable regulation.

Rather be a gun nut than a government nut arming terrorists overseas with 'ASSAULT' weapons.
Second verse same as the first verse with the third verse saying.
Incroyable.

Gun nut - The armed forces and police would never take our guns, they'd be on our side...
Anti Gun nut - Then why do you need guns...
Gun nut- I need guns because the government want to take my guns...
Anti gun nut - Wait... What?

That's why you all sound like raving lunatics.

So now Imma a 'terrorist' for merely owning a 'assault' weapon! Never mind I, and millions of other Americans haven't done anything. Why no Imma a terrorist!
Coming to a city near you soon.
I didn't find the link to the actual NYT article.
Well, it seems the media’s horrific campaign of inaccuracy hasn’t stopped. According to Reuters, for the first time in nearly a century, The New York Times editorial board took their plea for gun bans to the front page on Saturday, calling our nation’s inaction on gun control a “moral outrage and a national disgrace.” No, we shouldn’t be surprised that they decided to follow the likes of the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times with their own inane call to arms for gun control. And we shouldn’t be shocked that they want policies that employ confiscatory measures, while also banning an entire class of firearms, specifically assault rifles and certain types of ammunition [emphasis mine]:

Guess someone missed the red herring in the New York Times article.
The only made up words in this thread is 'assault' weapon.
But that term came from politicos pushing fascism.
