    Don’t forget the fearsome “deadlier-than-military-weaponry, AR-15 style assault shotguns”

    I spent about two minutes trying to come up with a good joke about this one, but honestly I think it speaks for itself

      What’s really funny is that the 12g built off the AR frame doesn’t actually qualify for the “assault weapon” description, so said AR-15 style assault shotgun is a greenlight.

        They characterize semi-automatic shotguns like they’re this brand new, evil gun lobby invention, thought up to sell to crazed lunatics who can’t get their kicks just shooting regular bullets into school children any more

        Meanwhile, people have been shooting ducks with the Browning Auto-5 since literally the year 1900, and it only stopped production in 1998

        But that’s made of wood and doesn’t have the shoulder thing that goes up, so it’s not scary
