Dave Workman of the Second Amendment Foundation has an excellent
article in the Examiner revealing the semantic tactics advocated inside a guidebook from the gun control lobby.
Here are a couple of excerpts -
"On Page 45, the guide addresses
Stand Your Ground laws and counsels the use of provocative substitute
phrases including 'Shoot First' and 'Kill at Will,' asserting that these
terms are 'more accurate and persuasive.' It suggests demonizing
semiautomatic rifles by stressing that 'These weapons are not your
grandfather’s rifle.' It also advises to 'cite law enforcement’s support
at every opportunity,' which may be a problem in this case because a
major law enforcement group has already come out in opposition to
Washington's pro-gun I-594. The document also offers points on semantics
by recommending the use of the phrase 'stronger laws' rather than
'stricter laws,' and 'preventing gun violence' rather than 'gun
control.'"
