If only the journalists will follow it....

They get too much mileage out of it . They will expand the definition if anything .

Weapons of War will encompass many more items the left can ban. Everything issued or used by the military can become a targeted item. Clothing, armor, knives, pistols, eye protection, ear protection, NV, MRE’s, ammo, side arms, optics, rifles, etc…the list goes on. Tactical Tattoos may even be something they make up and want to ban. These people aren’t rational freedom loving people. Rough times ahead.

Remember when it was rare to find spelling and grammatical errors in news articles? They must be short of editors these days, or the AP Style Guide has declared proofreading as antiquated and unnecessary, because some of what gets released from major networks and outlets is laughably atrocious. If they won't bother to check themselves for basic errors, I doubt they're going to mind the suggestions to not slant their pieces with their own, or their station's, biased agendas.

I believe we are now seeing the result of a failed educational system. Lowered educational standards and leftist indoctrinated beings are now in leadership roles based on gender, race, and whatever other made up term they identify as. Our foundation is cracked and sliding off a cliff and our Godless leaders are pushing it over the edge with everything they have.
