behold, our domestic terrorists:

10. Just because language can be deconstructed, that does NOT mean that terrorist = freedom fighter, no

matter how any given individual(s) may hold that semantic position, they are NOT NECESSARILY correct/valid empirically in the consequences of that position for others, nor for themselves.

Phenomena are whatever they are, no matter how valid or invalid our references to them are. This is why terrorist = freedom fighter, and, yes, even terrorist =/= freedom fighter, isn't/aren't absolutely valid and the differences in those sets of conditions in a given circumstance is not something that we can ignore when it comes to the ultimate violence made possible by guns, because whatever happens especially with guns, one way or another, affects ALL of us by the nature of the means, the violence, by which whatever ends are brought about. That is, those gun-effects violate my/our rights to CHOOSE what happens to us, whether we are shot or not, and, no matter how gun-effects turn out from anyone else's perspective, that violation of my/our choice negates freedoms in other systemic levels.

For example, a child cannot walk down a hall in a school without the specter of an armed guard and ALL that implies hovering forever in her memory, whether the guard ever has to do anything or not, AND THAT FACT HAS NOT-INCONSEQUENTIAL PHYSICAL EFFECTS FOREVER AFTERWARD.
