I'm completely fine with people hating guns, but the bias shouldn't be used to skew, or change facts to get laws passed.

It's like dictionaries such as Merriam-Webster changing the term "Assault Rifle", so that anti-gunners/ liberals would stop getting corrected in conversations. The Military definition for an "Assault Rifle" will always be "semi-auto & select-fire" not just "semi-auto". Common usage of an incorrect term doesn't magically change anything.

Agree on all points except the first part.

Since the GOP is against big government in any form, this is pretty much a proposal dead in the water and we'd be back having this conversation the next time a mass casualty event involving kids and a person with a gunpowder-powered weapon happens.

tip toeing around words doesn't really change anything either... we just all collectively kick the can down the road and point at each other, hopefully no one we know personally is caught in the crossfire.
