I Was Listening To Nor Man Gold Man Today On WCPT In Chicago - Guns Was The Topic.....

A suggestion came up that instead of using the term 'gun control' to get something done to minimize these mass shooting episodes that instead we should use the term 'gun safety'. The thought was how could one be against gun safety as the other side is 'gun unsafety'.

I like this and was wondering what others here think about that.

We know that the Repugs use names of their campaigns to help their cause. They Luntz their campaigns and it works for them. I think 'gun safety' is a good way to attack our gun problem.
