Terrorist is a word that is rapidly losing all meaning,again thanks to insane overuse and a desire to label opponents with a loaded word. It has joined racist, white supremacist and Nazi. As Benton correctly pointed out terrorism is violence or the threat of violence in the furtherance of a cause. Thus, everyone labeling the shooter as a terrorist is deliberately misusing the term. Anyone labeling the NRA a terrorist organization is deliberately misusing the term. We are rapidly approaching the point where, for many people, words only mean what they want them to mean.
