Tone Deaf or Trying To Be Cute?

Is this an attempt at being "cute"? Or is the writer tone deaf to the issues of guns and gun violence. 

Or both?

Check the highlighted excerpts. What's your conclusion?

The use of the phrases "taking another shot" and "shot down" could have been replaced with a number of better phrases to accomplish the same meaning. 

No matter what side of the issue the audience may embrace, the debate surrounding firearms and gun violence is a serious one and the Maven believes the use of "creative or innovative copy writing (AKA being cute) does not serve the audience well

And as for the phrase "people downtown" is ambiguous. Really ambiguous.
