Democrats and others on the Left have obviously become aware that the term “gun control” doesn’t go over well with the majority of the public, so they’re doing what they always do, which is to give the same thing a different name and hope nobody notices. In this case, “gun control” is out in favor of “gun safety” (a move that Frank Luntz has recommended). Neera Tanden was all over it:
Saying nothing will change helps ensure nothing will change. Never take the pressure off the GOP to pass gun safety laws. The difference of living with this insanity and not is just a matter of whether they will act. Or enough of them.

And now we’re on to the next level of what “gun safety” would involve.
Gun control activist David Hogg is pointing to Switzerland as a model for the U.S. when it comes to “gun safety”:
Switzerland has a massive number of guns and a high rate of gun ownership with little gun violence.
It’s because their government actually takes gun safety seriously as does their country.
If you are a Swiss citizen please tell us in the comments how your country views guns.— David Hogg 🌻 (@davidhogg111) June 2, 2022
Want to see what an actually well regulated militia looks like and a country that takes gun safety and ownership seriously?

Until the U.S. is more like Switzerland, Hogg says the American government should advise foreigners to avoid traveling to the country:
If the level of gun violence we have in the United States was occurring in any other country the state department would’ve put out major travel advisories not to go there by now. Other countries should do the same to us.

If you are a non-American please contact your government and ask them to do so and put out a travel advisory discouraging people from coming to the United States until we act on gun safety

If lefty gun control activists actually cared about “gun safety” so much they wouldn’t spend so much time demonizing the NRA, which does more than anybody to train gun owners in the safe usage of firearms. For the Left, “gun safety” is simply “gun control” in a cheap disguise.
