Having traveled across the United States for a decade to campaign against the ceaseless round of shootings that have claimed thousands of lives, Shannon Watts believes she has heard a very clear message. “Americans want the gun violence to stop,” she said during a recent stop in Washington.

With all due respect to the Washington Post, the headline to the recent article referenced in the title of this piece reminds us of the iconic phrase uttered by the character Inigo Montoya in the 1987 film Princess Bride. “You keep using that word (in this case, words, as in “courts” and “win”).
