And I would argue that's at best an unhelpfully glib quip, and at worst a terrible opinion that shows a severe lack of character that just happens to be employed on the right side in this particular discussion.

Most of the people I know with cc permits are quite down to earth, and most have good reason to carry. There are a couple that make me scratch my head, though.

 

See, the difference is, our side's bad people like that aren't running for president and getting lots of support.

That word should be avoided. If you know parents of kids with developmental issues, it's a word they really hate.
