The media's dirty trick
According to the National Rifle Association, describing a shooting as a “shooting” is some kind of nefarious media plot to trick you into thinking of a shooting as a “shooting.”

RE: The media's dirty trick
Why call it a shooting when Obama has already determined events like this to be either work place violence or man caused disasters?

Who was it that wanted "crosshairs" and "targets" banned from campaign ads. Let me see, it must have been the NRA. Those evil deceiving bastards.

Spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin.

So let me get this straight: A mentally ill child of immense privilege from a family that is very likely left of center who stabbed three victims shot three others and critically injured two more with his car in a gun-free zone in a state that has some of the toughest gun controls in the country……and this is the fault of the NRA?

Considering the date stamp on the link, are you suggesting it is in response to another event?

You can read whatever you want into Fit's statement, but he didn't say it was the NRA's fault. He just said that the NRA doesn't want shootings to be referred to as shootings.
