While I&#8217;m a little behind times as we have family visiting, the editors of the National Review said we don&#8217;t need a new assault weapons (sic) ban. You can read the whole editorial <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/article\/436605\/assault-weapon-ban-no-orlando-shooting-guns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, what caught my eye was this characterization of the AR-15:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<i>An \u201cassault weapon\u201d is the <b>Sicilian widow of the firearms world<\/b>: a little scary-looking and all dressed in black.<\/i>&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I love it! This can lead to a whole plethora of names for new AR builds. The old style one could be named Mrs. Corleone. A more modern one could be Francesca or Isabella or Carmella or Elena. The possibilities are endless.<\/p>\n<p>No word, though, on whether an AR-15 can pull off the <i><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ciaopittsburgh.com\/italian-superstitions-the-evil-eye-malocchio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">malocchio<\/a>&nbsp;<\/i>or evil eye.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I came across an editorial in the National Review from June 14th.
