Punctuation ambiguities
From Reuters, a
story about a fundraiser. Starts off innocently enough:
A planned Republican fundraiser in New Hampshire aims to promote gun ownership in America by letting supporters fire powerful military-style weapons -- from Uzi submachine guns to M-16 rifles.
But:
Local Democrats say the event is in poor taste amid a spike in violent crime in Manchester and seeks to glorify the use of machine guns for political gain.
It took me a moment to parse that last sentence correctly.
