You have to give the left credit for one thing: They are very good at manipulating the language used to frame the debate. Too many people now see gun control for what it really is: it’s all about control, not guns. Recognizing that this wording is no longer working for them, the left is now using the term “Gun Safety” in place of “Gun Control.” (After all, who could be opposed to “safety?”) We let them get away with this tactic all of the time, with terms like “undocumented immigrant” instead of “illegal alien”, and “pro-choice” instead of “anti-life.” As Rush Limbaugh has said many times over the years, “words mean things.” We have to stop falling for this trick, and define the issues in our own language.

No. WE do not “let them get away with it”. The media cartel aids and abet them in constructing it. With some alternate media now, we are fighting it.
