This is precisely why I do 2 things when talking to folks...
Avoid the use of the "G-word". It's being used by the antis as a standalone pejorative, and buying into it is not helping us.
Use the term "Criminal Violence". Add 'with firearms' if a distinction is needed, but generally it shouldn't be. The criminal aspect it where the problem really is... and we have lawmakers and a legal system that isn't holding criminals to account.
