Ban assault rifles NOW!

For the Wing Stop patrons!

John Anthony Lopez, of the 2300 block of Lazy Hollow, was charged with murder in Friday afternoon's shotgun shooting of 24-year-old Travone Jairai Ford.
...

Lopez then told Ford he "had something" for him and went out to the parking lot to his mother's maroon Buick and retrieved a 12-gauge shotgun from the trunk, according to court records.
Ford, meanwhile, had followed Lopez out to the car, the two got into a physical confrontation. As Ford drove away in the parking lot, Lopez fired a shot at the back of the car, piercing the trunk and striking Ford in the back, records show.
Hey, wait a minute. That wasn't an "assault rifle." That was something more or less identical to Grandpa's duck gun that the antis say they'll let us keep (after onerous licensing & registration requirements, of course). It's almost if said guns can be just as deadly as those eeeeevil assault rifles. Yeah, I know, perish the thought, right?
