"The group that heard the word "control" was less likely to support tighter gun laws." Thus the quote from the anti-gunners messaging book/pamphlet: "Don't talk about gun control." on page 13. For your own edification I will supply the link to the "messaging guide in a reply to this.

I think a Democratic nominee needs to say that they will take guns away from all Americans and then for sure they are done. If they say gun control it will hurt but maybe not be lethal. Of course it could be in purple states where Democrats need to win those. Will be interesting to see where it all turns out. The Democratic nominees have gone so left this primary season that in the general it will hurt them. The Republicans actually have not gone as right as they typically do so the general should be continuation of what they are doing now which will help.

Anytime the left actually tells the truth it hurts their push on that issue.

What millions of gun owners are *finally* beginning to realize is that regardless of what [unconstitutional] laws the lawless left manages to pass regarding 2A, they must never surrender their guns. Even if the left attempts to use force to take them.

Some on the left are also finally brazen enough to publicly acknowledge that (if) after guns are taken they want to incarcerate political dissidents. They want to do so. And they will if they can.

Make your choice people. Resist and maybe go down. Or cooperate and surely go down.

Does the phrase ‘gun control’ hurt the push for new gun laws?

Let’s hope!

I prefer “citizen disarmament” because “forced gun confiscation from people who have committed no crimes” is too long.

[G Larry]

Uh...No...The pretense that more laws will reduce the number of gun deaths hurts gun confiscation schemes.

Does the phrase "gun control" hurt the push for more gun control?

I hope so.
The Libs will keep re-branding this forever. Don't be fooled.

So if the word “control” is taken out of “gun control laws”, the respondents don’t acknowledge that it’s about control.

Does the phrase 'gun control'; hurt the push for new gun laws?

Since the Democratic National Socialist Party has taken off the mask, from now on The Phrase: Gun Control = CONFISCATION

Along with:

Stricter gun laws = CONFISCATION

And:

Gun safety = CONFISCATION

[TBP]

I’m for gun control.

Use both hands.

[Billthedrill]

The new formulation appears to be “Gun Safety Laws” as if prohibition were going to make everyone safe. New lies for old. They never change.
