Murdoch-owned NY Post to Trump: Ban assault weapons now
The New York Post, a major U.S. tabloid owned by conservative-leaning media mogul Rupert Murdoch, implored President Donald Trump on its cover Monday to ban assault weapons following several mass shootings in recent days.
In an accompanying op-ed, the Post’s editorial board called on Trump to stand up to the National Rifle Association and appeal to Americans, including gun owners, who are “appalled by the endless string of mass shootings.” The editorial continued: “President Trump, you are positioned to assuage that fear. On gun control, you are a pragmatic centrist, someone who knows there is a vast majority of Americans who are not to the extreme left or right on this issue. They just want the killings to stop. ... Come up with answers. Now. Beginning with the return of an assault-weapons ban.”Dozens of people have died in mass shootings nationwide over the last week or so.
