Excerpts from the Calif. Rifle & Pistol Ass'n rag, "The Firing Line," by Alan Korwin:
They want you to say & It's better to say:
Gun "Nut" = Firearms Enthusiast
Pro-Gun = Pro-Rights
Gun Control = Crime Control
Anti-Gun Movement = Anti-Self Defense Movement
Semi-automatic Handgun = Sidearm
Concealed Carry = Right-To-Carry
Assault Weapon = Household Firearms
Saturday Night Specials = Racist Gun Laws
Junk Guns = The Affordability Issue
High Capacity Magazines = Full Capacity Magazines
Second Amendment = Bill of Rights
Anti-Gun = Anti-Rights/Anti-Gun Prejudice
When they say, You Say:
Guns Kill = Guns Save Lives
Guns Cause Crime = Guns Stop Crime
Guns are too Dangerous to Own = Take a safety class
People shouldn't have guns = Only the good people should have guns
The only purpose of a gun is kill = The main purpose of a gun is to protect
All guns should be taken away = Bad guys first
(Some editing on my part due to software)
Thank you Alan Korwin for the corrections.
