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.

“President Trump, America is scared and we need bold action. It’s time to... BAN WEAPONS OF WAR,” the cover reads next to a picture of an assault-style rifle, a weapon that mass shooters frequently use to kill as many people as possible.

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.”

“People all across the nation are scared; many feel like the country is spinning out of control,” the board wrote. “They’re looking to their leaders for more than prayers. America is terrified.”

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.”
