Seaplaner,
You may have to “bite the bullet” on that word issue.
My own pet peeve is “the bully pulpit.”
In fact, Teddy Roosevelt said the presidency was “a” bully pulpit.
In Teddy's time “bully” meant “splendid” or “outstanding.”

ZS, I suspect that you are correct, my FRiend, thanks for the perspective.
It would be just splendid, however, if those of us who are on the 2A protection side would choose to demonstrate a greater understanding of the entire firearms topic by using just an important few correct terms.

Mine is "font," when the proper word is "typeface."
