Style
A style of office, or honorific, is a legal, official, or recognized title. A style, by tradition or law, precedes a reference to a person who holds a post or political office, and is sometimes used to refer to the office itself. An honorific can also be awarded to an individual in a personal capacity. Such styles are particularly associated with monarchies, where they may be used by a wife of an office holder or of a prince of the blood, for the duration of their marriage. They are also almost universally used for presidents in republics and in many countries for members of legislative bodies, higher-ranking judges and senior constitutional office holders. Leading religious figures also have styles.

Confiscation with compensation, as I would call it, a number of Democratic candidates are in favor of it. Kamala Harris says Kamala Harris is, Cory Booker said Cory Booker's in favor. Beto O'Rourke made an impassioned case to the audience at the New Hampshire Democratic Convention and drew cheers and applause. This is a risky idea, but it reflects the growing appetite among Democrats to take far-reaching steps to control guns, not only new sales but to take existing military-style weapons off the street.
