Chill. Gun violence = violence using guns, not violence by guns. Just like "dog food" is food for dogs, not food made of dogs. And "auto repair" is repair of the auto, not by the auto.

I am saying that we should not support the anti's agenda by using their teminology...just like the abortion crowd doesn't want to be labeled "fetus murderers" or "pro murder" that would rather be labeled "pro Choice", or the anti-abortion crowd that wants to be called "pro-life" not "anti abortion".

Semantics matters...as long as you allow the opponents to define the terms and terminology, they will have an advantage. "Gun Violence", the term, reinforces the concept that the inanimate object (the gun) is, in and of itself, violent, which is bad in the mind of the uninformed.

Remember, the terms are designed to be persuasive to the uninformed and uncommitted, not the committed opponents.
