I love the subtle use of the word violence in our lexicon. Rather than say a person committed a crime, it's now violence and everyone is a victim (including the perpetrators). This is why they use the term "gun violence" instead of crime. If we call it crime then we can say it's a person doing something that wasn't stopped. But who knows when it comes to violence how or why.

This is why I wish the media would get it through their thick, ideological skulls that it is "criminal violence", and if a firearm is used that is secondary.
That would require "Journalism" and "digging," both of which require "work." That is like sunlight to a vampire.

Gunshots to many, and in many places, are equated with the shooting sports, hunting, food, and plinking for fun. Everything is relative.
City dwellers who are uptight about it should spend more time out in the country and broaden their horizons. At least gain an understanding and appreciation for people whose lives and lifestyles are very different yet just as meaningful and worthy of respect as their own.
Tolerance. Something they preach, but often don't practice.
Are you listening, MoCo, Baltimore, and P.G., and to some extent HoCo? Not holding my breath. Remember, "Don't be so judgmental"?

Well said.
We should all refuse to use the term "gun violence".
When we use their terms, we play right into their hands.

They should be used to that sound in DC.
Gentrified hipster libtard city dwellers feel that there is no world outside THEIR world, so any possible relevance it may have to anyone at all is moot.
Therefore, there is no need to gain any understanding of different lifestyles.

Love the concerned resident/victim comments.
"I was like, they were like and I was like and it was all like..."
Sounds to me like they need more midnight basketball and gun buybacks.
