Glad they are expected to survive. Surviving being shot in the neck with a long gun is tough.

Oh, here we go with “long gun”again. Code for A.R. 15.

what's with calling Rifles "Long gun"?

Seems like a new trend.

'Long gun' and referring to the governor as 'the democrat'?

Interesting wording.

Newark has some of the best spanish/Portuguese food in the area and is a great city. Parts of it are dangerous but so was NYC in the 90s. I wouldnt travel half way around the country to go there but if youre in NYC area it os worth visiting.

Growing up with guns there were 3 types

Handguns, shotguns, and long guns. It’s a nice catch all for any type of rifle (though honestly the modern AR/AK would’ve been completely out of the realm of consideration with my family growing up. Long gun is a deer rifle as far as we were concerned because that was the only rifle people could have)

Ironbound section is cool, lots of Brazilian/latin/spanish/Portuguese people so plenty of cool shit to do. They have Portuguese and a brazillian parade every year. Branch brook park has 2nd largest selection of cherry blossom trees in the country if memory serves and they have a huge festival every year. Even in NJ newark gets a bad rap but its a cool place.

I was raised in the mid atlantic, maybe it’s regional or just a family thing? I do appreciate the news using the term when they’re unsure of the weapon outside of “it’s a gun but not a pistol”

Classifications. If you ever look at a 4473 which is a background check there are three weapon categories, Long Gun (any rifle over 16 inches on barrel length essentially, shotguns, and such) Handgun (pistols, revolvers, AR pistols, Dracos, anything under 16 inches with a fixed brace) and other (items that are technically guns, most often used to refer to lowers and receivers) so legally speaking the gun was a Long Gun

Because if you say "rifle" and it turns out to have been a shotgun or a carbine or whatever-the-fuck-else that just looks like a rifle to the guys who witnessed it from 20 yards, you'll have a bajillion gun nuts shattering their teeth in rage and playing pedant. Vague terms like "long gun" allow for the basics of a story to be communicated while the details are worked out with time.

> "I am in touch with local authorities and the state is providing resources as requested," the Democrat said.

why'd they refer to the governor as "the democrat"? No one asked his political affiliation. Are they trying to suggest that this shooting was somehow his fault?

I was born in Newark, NJ and attended high school in Newark. Great food! Lots of culture/history/personality. Are there areas I'd avoid? Of course, but that's anywhere.

Now I'm hungry for Pulaski BBQ and some pasteis de nata.

Also: it was cool to watch 'War of the Worlds' (2005) be filmed on Ferry Street in the Ironbound.

cops were shot, right? Did they have bullets inside of them expelled from cartridges or were they full of buckshot or have a huge hole blown through them by a deer slug expelled from a shell? It's not like the ammo is interchangeable between the two.....

If you know what ammo someone is shot with you know what type of weapon they were shot with.

Any sense of how BNB compares to Brasilia grill? It’s been several years since I went, but that was my usual low-key churrascaria.

Used to have a connection at Fogo de Chao, so that was my “high end” choice.

Long gun? A rifle? Or that pistol from Batman 1989?
