In response big, I'd say that they should. This is not a pissing match, but more of an awareness. If you all, who are well developed and experienced gun owners and hunters start using words such as "sniper" out of context, then that makes you no better than the media outlets who label lunatics such as the "DC Snipers" as "snipers," when they are nothing more than psychopathic murderers.

Just my bit.
