It's a small victory for guns rights groups [More]

How so?

I'd think "[a] judge blocking a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines in the small town of Deerfield, Illinois, less than 24 hours before it was meant to go into effect" is something that shouldn't be minimized without cause, especially noting a BloomBorg priority of attacking preemption.

Admittedly, a TRO isn't a huge deal, but it's not insignificant either, the point being there was no need to characterize it either way. If you're going to make that assertion a subhead for what is being presented as "straight news," don't you think you ought to substantiate it? Or just admit you're biased, agenda-driven apparatchiks, which any gun owner familiar with "Vice News" already knows?

Speaking of hyperbole, I see our friends at Fairfax are claiming credit and leaving unacknowledged another national player that assumed a major role bearing the burden.

Again and
again and
again and
again and
again and
again...
