Everyone is rainbow dash (even that one that i saw in fuffle puff channel) and rainbow dash is fluttershy

The Rainbow Dash show finally happened.

Ironically, that almost seems true.

Also keep in mind that the “Americans love guns” stereotype only applies to a subset of the population.

@Ebalosus  
It’s good ol’ fashioned sensationalism; the news industry term– seriously– is, “If it bleeds, it leads”, because the bloodier and more hysterical the report, the more likely viewers are to stay tuned. It’s not quite as headline-grabbing sexy to point out that more people die in America every year from lack of health insurance than die from gunfire, or that the average American is 62 times more likely to be killed by a doctor than killed by an attacker with a gun.

@Ebalosus  
It’s called playing on emotion. They don’t know about guns but want to scare other firearms ignorant people so they always use “scary” terms like assault weapon, ak47, ar15, machine gun, and the like.
 
They’re pushing an agenda.

@TexasUberAlles
 
Y’know, for a country as gun-happy as yours, the media sure-as-shit doesn’t seem to know what it’s talking about when trying to talk about guns.
 
Whenever guns are mentioned in the news over here, they’re usually correctly identified, “M4/M-16/AR-15” and “AKM/AK-47/Warsaw pact knockoffs” notwithstanding

Old gag is old.
 
Also, last one should be “weather balloon”. ;)

@ARchy4288  
Gawd, “semiautomatic assault weapon”… My wife just rolls her eyes in advance now bfore I even start yelling at the television.
 
Last place I saw an estimate said there were roughly 5,000 or so legally registered AK-47s in the U.S., but I know _{for reasons} that there were an awful lot of bring-backs in the ’60s and ’70s from our Big Trouble In Indochina adventure. I wonder how the Warsaw Pact embargo affects C&R laws, since there are millions of O.G. AKs that are over 50 years old now.
 
I used to have an NHM-91 (the “treaty gun” version of the RPK with a thumbhole stock and welded-on muzzle cap), and that sucker was unaccountably accurate for being a cheap Chinee knockoff of a mass-produced Russian SAW; it was reliably headshot-accurate at a hundred yards from a rest.

@Prof.NightJack  
Could be… Of course it could also be the dastardly AK-47 (which a legit AK-47 from any of it’s 3 production runs is nowadays actually a very rare and antiquated piece of hardware because of that whole NATO/Warsaw arms embargo thing and the plethora of upgrades and revisions and variants such as the AKM, the AK-74 platform, the Romanian md. 63, the Chinese Type 56, etc.) but hey, what do I know?

@ARchy4288  
You mean an AR-15?

@TexasUberAlles  
What about semiautomatic assault rifles that can fire 100 clip magazines?

No no no, the bottom center one is Pinkie Pie.

Reminds me of that Cracked.com photoshop image about how old people view the world:
 

Come on, OP– everyone knows this is the only My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic guide that journalists use:  

 
@VladimirMacHolzraum  
@ARchy4288  
That image is ridiculous, it pains me that people keep promulgating such nonsense.
 
…You’re giving the media too much credit. The only two types of guns they know are “assault weapons” and “semiautomatic handguns”.

I think it’s a reference to this:
 

Is this referring to something
