I'd like to suggest we take some control over the use of the term "gun free zone." We all know there is no such thing---only a desire by some foolish utopian folks that there be such a thing, a fantasy and nothing more. Therefore, I suggest we OCDO fans begin to speak in terms of "so-called gun free zones." Put that "so-called" in there, with the quotes! At best, that is what they are. This is kind of the way the media tries to color our thinking about certain topics they disrespect when they write about them in print, by adding perjorative PREfixes to everything they hate. They say things like "right-wing extremist talk-show host so-and-so," and "fundamentalist evangelical religious leader so-and-so," to paint a picture that is undesireable. Let us turn that technique around, and paint the TRUE picture of GFZ as the joke that it is. Ain't no such thing!! If you write a letter-to-the-editor on the 2A topic, or give a speech, or post on OCDO, won't you try to work this idea into your wording?
