A Coming Battle

U.S. gun-owners are now entering a global battle of conflicting "norms" about possession of weapons. [More]
Paul Gallant, Joanne Eisen and Alan Chwick explain.

Are we still allowed to say "battle," or is that some kind of new rhetorical taboo?

I don't care if "battle" is a new rhetorical taboo. I'll still say it

The "norm" around the globe throughout history has always been "Do what your elite superiors tell you." America was meant to be different and better. We carried OUR norm around the world, but it seems too frightening for most. Oh, well. Within our own borders, it's ours to decide. Individually, if not in groups, as states or as a nation.
