Politically Corrected.....Very good reminder!
Certain words hurt you when you're talking about your rights.
People who would deny your rights have done a good job of manipulating the language so far.
Without even realizing it, you're probably using terms that actually help the people who want to disarm you.
To preserve, protect and defend your rights in this critical debate, you

====================================
WHEN THEY SAY

YOU SAY
Bad guys first
====================================
WHEN THEY SAY:

YOU SAY:
Everything criminal about guns is already illegal
====================================
WHEN THEY SAY:
Why would anyone want to own a gun?
YOU SAY:
You're kidding, right? You mean you really don't know?
Well, why do you think the police have guns?

YOU SAY
What sort of guns do you think
people should have, and why
===================================
WHEN THEY SAY
Do you really have a gun?
YOU SAY
Of course, don't you?
Then just give it a rest and watch where it goes. You'll hear their
litany, replete with flaws. Don't rebut, seize the moment, listen hard
and learn -- then just raise an eyebrow and think, "How 'bout that.
Feller doesn't even own a gun. It takes all kinds." Then talk about
something else. And boy, does the disjoint hang in their craw.
