It seems to me initially the idea of political correctness was sort of a good thing basically an effort to protect the members of society that fell into some minority category based on demographics or ideas. However, as of late political correctness seems to have evolved into just what it initial was intended to protect us from. Now, it has become like a religion of sorts and if you don’t follow it’s accepted tenets you are considered a threat to the majority.

Now, as those of us that own firearms inch closer and closer to being a minority we are seen more and more as a threat. The frustrating thing is that the politically correct orthodoxy is that firearms owners who have never committed a crime are seen as a threat. However at the same time criminals who have actually committed a violent act with a firearm are often somehow seen as victims and their acts minimized.
