Here is some great advice on using language to control the debate on self-defense issues and the 2nd Amendment:

Some examples:
They want you to say (and you lose if you say): PRO GUN
It's better to say (and they lose if you say): PRO RIGHTS
They want you to say (and you lose if you say): GUN CONTROL
It's better to say (and they lose if you say): CRIME CONTROL
They want you to say (and you lose if you say): ANTI-GUN MOVEMENT
It's better to say (and they lose if you say): ANTI-SELF-DEFENSE MOVEMENT
They want you to say (and you lose if you say): SEMIAUTOMATIC HANDGUN
It's better to say (and they lose if you say): SIDEARM
There is much more. Some of it is a bit silly, but it's all worth thinking about. Lots of other good stuff on this site, too.
