I do not see it misleading at all. All the focus has been on rifles recently. If you try to include everything, you end up with more than people can digest

Baloney. They intentionally left out the weapon used for most murders - handguns. If you are going to compare rifles vs knives then you have to include handguns. sorry. We have enough problems as it is fighting the anti-gun agenda without misleading ads that anyone with a lick of sense can see through. ... I also doubt the anti-gun crowd will be satisfied just going after rifles. What they want to is outlaw all guns and disarm us.

Well, what you say is subjectively true but you're complaint of keeping handguns out of the graphic is not in context of the present time.

I'm pretty sure I've heard the terms "assault weapon, assault rifle, & military-style rifles", "clips" & "magazines", 7 bullets & 10 bullets" more times in the past 2 weeks than I've ever heard in my life. When the journalists and politicians are saying "clips" and flashing AR mags and flashing AK's in their state assemblies like they're trophies then there is no reason to not assume they're concentrating on the scary military-style rifles.

I have yet to see a journalist or politician wave around a Glock 22 mag.
