Second Amendment supporter? Then help preserve our liberty teeth by doing this one simple thing.

I think the term is mass murderer.

Mass murderer, mass killer; interchangeable in this instance. The goal is to use a term that does not facilitate the demonizing of the tool. The reason for this tactic should be plain. But, just in case someone is wondering; the villification of firearms aids in the effort of disarming the American people by way of building support for the abolition or modification of the Second Amendment in such a way that obstructs or prevents firearms from being used in the way that the founders intended. Using "mass shooting/shooter" leverages very strong, visceral emotion in this effort. Either way, the important part is to recognize the utility of this technique and apply it anywhere that the bad actors at play against the people are insistent on using certain verbiage. Usually there is an operational reason, most often on a strategic level in the collective psyche/perception, for utilizing specific terms. There is a reason that they are referred to as liberty teeth. The 2A is of the same vital essence to the maintenance and safeguarding of a self-governing constitutional republic as the free and unimpeded exchange of ideas and a free press informing that exchange. If any single one is compromised, as the free press is today, the whole thing is in great peril.

Great advice. I edited my last thread:

Thread: Gun Ownership: An American Right and Tradition.

Thanks! Good deal. It was a well know psychologist who told me this. His name is Dave Grossman. I met him in Bristol Va. not too long back. Great guy.
Too, I will be reading your thread when I get a chance today.
Thanks for commenting. Spread the word!

Another cool part of meeting Grossman was that during his presentation he cited the pitbull as an example of a dog that we may have to defend ourselves against. I am very much an advocate for the breed since getting a beautiful pit boxer who is just the sweetest soul. So during a break I asked Dave if he would apply the same concept to his example of a dog and he readily agreed. I would highly recommend getting his books also. "On Killing" was the first one I read and he was spot on for sure.
