Our fight would be easier. When it comes time to draw a line in the sand for guns, it all comes down to primitive perception.
I've heard this before. I respectfully disagree. To a point, when we use words, we should use technically accurate words -- that's fine.
Our opponents are devious and ruthless, and imaginative, and I don't think that words matter a great deal. They don't like the idea we have firearms, ands wish to remove them. Nullify one tactic .... fine. They'll simply switch to another.
In a sense, were trying to get the toothpaste back in the tube here.
