If you use any of the following terms or language ...
1. Calling a semi-automatic pistol or rifle 'weapon of mass destruction'.
2. You claim right to self-defense and children's lives are mutually exclusive.
3. You try re-writing the text of the 2nd Amendment to your own personal interpretation.
4. You confuse hunting with self-defense.
5. You believe that not having the right to have personal nuclear weapons, artillery, or land mines for self-defense logically extends to personal firearms.
6. Refer to semi-automatic weapons as 'military-grade' or 'machine-guns'.
7. Ever use the term 'assault rifle' to refer to an over the counter firearm.
That kind of emotive language will immediately signal to whomever you're trying to convince on the other side that your agenda is confiscation and you're perfectly willing to ride the coattails of any tragedy you can find to accomplish that.
All I can say is that if the NRA, as an organization devoted to the promotion of gun rights, gun responsibility and the history and sport of using them is responsible for school shootings, they why isn't NASCAR responsible and when will people march on them for the many pile-ups and traffic fatalities on the highway?
