I have heard people say that Covid "stole many years" regarding kids and their youth and development. Not sure how you can "give that back" either.
The response to Covid pushed by idiots did that.

A red Ford Explorer in a Christmas parade most famously refers to the tragic 2021 Waukesha, Wisconsin incident where a driver plowed through the parade, killing people
no mention of driver's name...

If these are the counter arguments then I’m feeling pretty good about my original stance
If someone gets murdered with a gun, they are going to have to mention the gun, fellas. Violence inflicted with a gun = gun violence. I’m very sorry to share this very obvious fact.

Yeah but methinks if he turned muzzie or girlie it would have come out from interviews with his friends but instead we get -
One of Erickson’s former high school classmates, Bryce Jankowski, said he recently exchanged texts with Erickson, who said he was studying at Brown. “He said he was doing good,” Jankowski said. “He said he was living at a hotel because his apartment flooded,” though he said that did not seem to bother him.
Jankowski described Erickson as a well-behaved, smart individual. He did not recall Erickson making any concerning statements, harboring extremist views or having any behavioral challenges. “He was wicked smart.”
A former wrestling teammate from high school, who asked not to be quoted by name, described Erickson as a “pretty nice guy, he was quiet… he becomes really outgoing when you get to know him, but he’s pretty quiet when you don’t.”

You shouldn’t as you obviously don’t understand.

Vehicular assault? Vehicular homicide? Vehicular manslaughter?
Vehicle ramming? Car attacks?
Yeah dude. Goddam

Yes. Vehicular assault and vehicular homicide are both common terms.
Road Rage is as well and the road isn't actively fighting people.

“but are they gonna arrest the road?!?”

You brought up “vehicular homicide,” as a counter. However, don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone in Georgia be charged with gun murder. Assault with a deadly weapon, yes, murder by gun…no
Also, you could say they were “murdered by a psychopath who cowardly used a handgun on unarmed students”
Mentions the gun but does not purposefully try to enact a political position of gun control

In this entire thread no one has pointed out that if someone were murdered with a gun he would 99 percent of the time be said to have been "shot" which would negate the need to point out a gun was present since you cannot shoot someone with a knife, poison, etc.

You could shoot them with an arrow.
These libs never point out Arrow Violence though.

Option A
Mary was shot with a gun and died.
Option B
John gunned down Mary, who died from her wounds.
I'd pick option B.
The media uses passive language, like option A for a reason- and that reason is NOT to better inform you.

All this hand-wringing about a literal definition
I feel like I’m being asked to respect the gun’s pronouns
“It’s not GUN VIOLENCE you bigot, it’s a firearm-identifying mortality. Do better.”

It wasn't a gunman. It was a person who made a conscious decision to harm others with a gun.

I don’t think we know much of anything on this guy outside of he possibly is left on politics due to his listed political party unless he is a one issue member.
I don’t think a text exchange with someone from high school is where big mental breakdowns are going to be shared.
The 2nd guy is talking about him from high school which was likely 5 or 6 years ago.

Depends on the killer and killer’s motivations.
Kirk was assassinated for his political beliefs and willingness to have open dialogue with others.
Focusing solely on what was used to murder or to assassinate someone minimizes the true issue or cause behind the murder.
