 * I beg you to stop using the term "gun control." It is the preferred term of those who oppose gun violence prevention and those ignorant to that.  Right-wingers use the term "gun control" to suggest we are trying to control their lives and take all their guns. AlexandriaWriter (talk) 17:37, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Is there a reason you wont provide a link to the Safer Country website?
 * Is there a reason you won't mention the phrase "Prevent A Gun Tragedy - Speak Up!"? It's the name of the campaign. AlexandriaWriter (talk) 17:41, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

Question
Hi, welcome to Wikipedia. A question: Do you have some affiliation with the Safer Country organization? I ask in reference to Wikipedia's policies on conflicts of interest and promotionalism. Thanks. Neutralitytalk 17:09, 17 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi, I was unaware of the COI policy when I edited this red flag law page. My name is Paul Friedman. I'm the founder and executive director of Safer Country. The edits I've made are based upon my knowledge of the work done by my group with Fairfax County and my knowledge of the issue. Our group initiated the Fairfax County public awareness campaign and named it, "Prevent A Gun Tragedy - Speak Up!" Fairfax County Supervisor Rodney Lusk, who introduced the bill that launched the campaign, would endorse my description of Safer Country's role. I think the current description is fair.
 * I have also added that Virginia's law is an emergency substantial risk order law. It is not an extreme risk protection order.  Calling it "extreme" creates the mindset that a higher standard needs to be met to report concerns.  I also fixed typos by the person who re-edited my work.
