20. I dislike the word "control"

I wish they would use the term gun ACCESS. I definitely support limitations on the acquisition of guns. And would also definitely like to see a little more discussion about what some guns are designed for and simple understanding that they are designed to kill people - sometimes LOTS of people. That small fact seems to not be part of the discussion among people so much.
