These are just my thoughts and are put here for your consideration.
Do you think it is time we changed some terminology we use when talking or writing about firearms.
Wouldn't it be better if the words we use be different than what the gun-grabbers use?
Some words that they use include terms such as:
Assault weapon, as this sounds very aggressive.
Weapon, this word sounds aggressive, but not as bad as assault weapon.
Automatic, unless talking of full automatics, as the bliss ninnies will probably take it to mean full automatic.
This one can probably be waived when talking to gun buddies.
Personally, I don't even like to use the word 'gun'.
There is probably many more you can think of that we would be better off not using.
I think that there are less threatening words such as rifle, pistol, revolver, firearm, and shotgun.
Adding the caliber and/or company name or other description to you firearm such as AR15 or even Sports Utility Rifle, or Sporter in your references should not make the firearm sound more threatening, maybe even less.
