Re-branding Gun Control

 

October 15, 2022

 

Columnist Jonah Goldberg caught my attention in a column he wrote about hypocrisy, when he mentioned as one example “…gun control advocates who have guns…”

 

Wait: Just because you want to make sure gun owners are responsible citizens doesn’t make you a hypocrite if you own a gun. It makes you a person with common sense.

 

We should replace the phrase “gun control” with “Responsible Gun Ownership.” We could even have an acronym: RGO. That has a nice military-style sound to it, which would appeal to part of the population. “We should join the RGO.” “Hell, yeah, let’s go!”

 

So, let’s do it. Forget gun control—RGO forever!
