For instance if we are going to argue over banning vehicles do you have suggestions or people in your local legislation that can get it in motion? If not, what about firearms, or local LE funding?
Or is it more productive to our local community and country as a whole to keep repeating our arguments to each other on here?
I think it's important to discuss semantics, because there is seriously a communication issue between those that argue
the word "misuse" set off someone trying to make a point about the media being misleading and their bias against guns. When really, it's just a totally fine and accurate word to use in this case. Sure the headline for a gun incident could be "the killer misused an AR-15 in this violent shooting" or something, but would that really make the original poster happier. Does he want to force his own word preferences on the media which has a 1st amendment right?
using the word misuse in this incident is more complete, it really backs up all of the definitions of the word misuse completely, not just the social one. It's not a term that was meant to enforce any bias in the media, yet the OP is so obsessed that everything the media does is biased against conservative point of views that he's incensed enough by it to start a post here about it, trolling us into a gun control debate that he knows is useless and will change no ones' mind on here. except for them to cast judgement while declaring that if we do that to him he'd like a moderator to do something about it.
