The author of this piece espouses a frequently used progressive solution to crime; call it something else but criminal behavior.  By Referring to the illegal use of firearms as terrorism the author hopes to bring greater social pressure on gun owners.  If her tactic is successful then we gun owners will have in our possession tools of terrorism.  Much easier to confiscate tools of terrorism than Second Amendment protected firearms.  These are the same people who successfully foisted the term "undocumented alien" on us instead of illegal alien.  These are the same people who advocate sanctuary cities for undocumented aliens. Perhaps we should call bank robbery undocumented misappropriation?  There is an array of laws in place that deal with criminal behavior.  Let's enforce them and not try to redefine criminal behavior for political expediency.
