NRA objects to the word "shootings" being used when people get shot

http://www.mediaite.com/online/nra-news-blames-media-for-calling-gun-violence-shootings/

“When someone commits a murder, it used to be a murder right?” Raso, the only semiotician in the history of the world to dead lift 600 lbs says. “Now they race to label anything with a gun as a shooting. Because they know how much attention they’re going to get with that word.” ...

He goes on: “Think about the difference between a shooting and a murder. In one you have shooter, and in the other one a murderer.”

is that sanitized enough?

These delicate flowers. More scared than a jittery cat. No wonder they all need to walk around armed to the gills. It must be very scary inside a gunner's head.
