Quote:Proud boy jailed for seven years for unlawfully possessing ghost guns.
 It clearly means a member of a high suspect group was jailed for owning guns without ID numbers 

The thing is i don't judge an article by the title. I have this weird habit of actually reading the article  Dodgy

This ^^^ is what I'm thinking it means as well.

Then again, I knew what a ghost gun was before this thread, so, not sure if that biases me. Because I'm not sure what is inflammatory or outrageous about the headline. Is it the use of the term "ghost gun"? Was the guy NOT jailed for seven years? Were they not a proud boy?

What is the bad assumption in the title that isn't in the article?

ETA: okay. Read it. I don't get it. What is the issue? Why is olb mad about this? Why the guessing games? What IS this thread about? *frustrated scoff*
