There those progressives go again....calling it a "shooting", taking an innocent, good term, and changing it into a bad thing.

Shooting is the act or process of firing rifles, shotguns or other projectile weapons such as bows or crossbows. Even the firing of artillery, rockets and missiles can be called shooting. A person who specializes in shooting is a marksman. Shooting can take place in a shooting range or in the field in hunting, in shooting sports or in combat.

A massacre is an incident where some group is killed by another, and the perpetrating party are perceived to be in total control of force while the victimized party is perceived to be helpless and/or innocent with regard to any legitimate offense. There is no clear-cut definition for when killings are referred to as massacres or not, rather, this choice is a result of an individual or collective assessment, depending e.g. on how the circumstances of the killing align with given ideas of acceptable use of force and on the desired status of an event in collective memory.

We need to stop letting them get away with calling these acts by insane madmen "shootings" and make them call them what they are "MASSACRES"!!! They keep changing the definition of innocent words, into something they are not, thereby changing peoples perception of them into something bad, when they aren't. Everyone who owns a gun, is a shooter and goes out shooting. Only insane mad men go out and commit massacres.

You're correct again. So lead the way and show us all how this can be accomplished.

VERY shrewd analysis of the tainted language which the Left and the Media have drug into this non-debate “Debate”.
Continually calling them “shooters” brings them just a few steps away from recreational hunters, or shooting range patrons, who are the real “shooters”. By reserving the same word for both, they meld them permanently together in the public mind, and create an alliance and an identification of one with the other.
