No UDoes the media term criminal acts of stabbings or slashings as "knife violence?"
Does the media term intentional criminal acts of bad actors using motor vehicles to run down innocent people as "car violence?"
Does the media term use of explosive devices (i.e., the Boston Marathon Bombing) as "explosives violence?"
How about the recent video of people getting the snot beaten out of them on the streets of Brooklyn, et al? Did the media headlines read "Fist violence" or "Foot Violence?"
The use of a modifier preceding the word "violence" can be construed as implying the gun caused the violent act.
So -- let's not buy into this artificial construct and let the media frame the acts of criminals.
It's VIOLENCE. What tool is used, should not matter.
We are letting the antis indoctrinate the masses with the concept that it's the guns that create the ills from which our society suffers.
Stop it, now!
