I know what you all mean when you use the term gun violence, but do you all know that the term gun violence is a term created by liberal and progressive pundits for the purpose of linking the idea in the public mind that guns are connected to crime and violence, and that guns and firearms, and crimes and violence are somehow equivalent.
The phrase "gun violence" implies that, somehow, that guns themselves-inanimate objects-create and cause violence.
Words and phrases are purposely, and deliberately used to mold and shape public opinion, by those that use the media to control thoughts, and formation of opinion in society. Just as there was a concerted effort to change homosexuals into gays, to change abortion into a "womens right to choose" , to change foreign trespassers into illegal immigrants, then migrants, now just undocumented workers. Now the manipulators strive to change the perception of firearms in our society, and link them them to crime and violence. They could much more honestly be linked to safety, protection, and security.
There is no such thing as gun violence, or gun crime. There never has been and there never will be. There is violence committed with a gun, and there is crime committed with a gun, but no such thing as gun violence or gun crime.
You all can choose to use what terms you want, but its my opinion not a good idea to continue to use terms they the gun grabbers created to sway public opinion. The term gun violence now rolls off peoples lips, with no thought, and thats just what they intended to happen.
