It's Gun "Reform" now...watch the media instantly use this new term

Posted on 02/21/2018 4:18:52 AM PST by cotton1706

Heard this twice on the radio just this morning.

Like Global Warming became Climate Change, Gun Control will now be Gun Reform.

Good catch. “Control the language.”

Funny. Even our “morning drive” guy who is a libtard is saying “no way are people going to be disarmed”. Even he is calling for CCW in the schools.

Gun reform? How about FBI reform. Enough of tax money used for FBI/ATF campaign against Trump and gun owners and instead put it back to enforcement and protecting schools

Maybe that just went out, but the working term before that was “Common-Sense Gun Safety Measures”...I think they’ll stick with that.

Seems to me to relate more to the overused misnomer “comprehensive immigration reform”.

The misnomer “climate change” has been around for quite a while, especially in the form of the United Nations IPCC (or “Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change”), although once AGW was shown to be BS, the left resurrected it as a fallback.

All MSM get their assigned talking points from the CIA to further the psyops, first thing each morning. Then the mantra begins. Notice how the same key words are continually used throughout the day.

How do you know the talking points come from the CIA? There is indeed talking points issued each day, but from who?

Mass shooting: phrase, def: anytime four or more people are shot in the same general area at the same general time.

That's no good, that's Chicago on a slow day.

Never in my lifetime (80+ years) did I ever expect to see a portion of the American people convert the English language to something no one could understand. The bastards hate EVERYTHING, even our language.

Media seems poised to stampede the feckless Pubs into stupid statements/decisions.

All aimed at NOV.

‘Gun Safety’ didn’t work out so well.

Gun reform is a new sight set, furniture, or trigger group.

That is also the official MSN definition ...

Then there is the MSN favorite shoot’mup city of Baltimore ... they must like it because they don’t have to travel so far to write their stories; Chicago is out in the boonies.

Apologies to Chicago, but the media can only overly dramatize these things by setting the bar low as part of their agenda to cause chaos, confusion, fear, distortion, misrepresentation while angling to get rid of, or at least nullify, the 2nd Amendment ...

“Has DJT lost his way?”

Trump blew it when he didn’t fire Wray. He would have owned the momentum. When he didn’t it allowed MSM to pivot and blame guns in general and the NRA specifically. He put himself and the GOP on defense.
This is political war time to act like it.

“...The bastards hate EVERYTHING, ...”

Everything they can’t control, yes, you are correct.

That’s why they hate US so much - because they can’t control us.

You can’t control People who understand and value their freedom and who will fight to keep their Liberty.
