If the government has people pushing this its ulterior motive is to blur the line on a defined “prohibited person” from owning a firearm, I.e. They want to have some means of still restricting an individuals rights while they still apparently “look normal” for functioning in society.
Personally I believe anyone not worthy or having their right to vote and own a firearm restored shouldn’t be out of jail, if you’re rehabbed you should get everything back. If you’ve paid the price it should be paid in full, that alone would reduce recidivism.

Those who have been robbed shall be referred to as donors, those who have been hurt will be referred to as blood donors, and those who have been killed shall be referred to as organ donors.Whoa, that's a good one.
Have you heard of the "ban the box" campaign?

Changing the label doesn’t change what they are. The label doesn’t stigmatize them, they are what brings stigma to the label.

What about the stigmatism of being called a “racist”, I mean that term is REALLY polarizing.
Methinks something kinder and gentler is in order; perhaps “melaninally predispositioned”?

Actually, they are doing that in advance of Hillary’s felony conviction so they may continue to call her Madame Secretary...

And senior people currently working at Justice Department should be referred to as “Potential Felons”.
