MASS MEDIA GUN REPORTS ARE A DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN: CALLING MASS MURDERERS “SHOOTERS” DEMEANS US ALL.

“Shooting is not a crime.”

Using the term “shooters” to describe a mass murderer negates what we are trying to say. Shooters isn’t a word with a negative connotation. To many people, “shooting” is a well loved sport, time-honored in history. According to this article, the problem isn’t with the guns themselves, but it’s with media disinforming us, and media not saying how it is. These people aren’t killers with guns, they are murderers.

“Our problem, dear colleagues, is not guns on the street, which don’t even exist there. The media keeps getting that deliberately wrong –arms are in peoples’ homes. It is psychopathic criminals who are on the streets without sufficient balance from law enforcement or even citizen resistance. Firearms are tucked away, where they stand ready to repel invaders of the foreign or domestic sort. That sense of preparedness, and all the good that guns do, is crucified by intolerant, non-inclusive, deceitfully aggressive perpetrators hiding in plain sight. Illegally armed criminals, definitely on the streets, are simply ignored.”
