I'm actually all for political correctness. If you want to work to change the usage of a WORD that's discriminatory then fine, I'm behind you. But that's a conversation that needs to be had in the culture. You can't just decide that commonly used parts of a language are evil and that the PEOPLE who didn't GET the memo must be bad people.
Usually, characters that are doing SOMETHING nefarious have some extra layers to them. The general RULE is bad people don't NECESSARILY THINK they are bad.
Getting a gun should be easy for GOOD PEOPLE and impossible for BAD people. The only trick is telling the DIFFERENCE.
Gun manufacturers and COMPANIES are RESPONSIBLE for bad PRODUCTS. They are not responsible for bad PEOPLE who use their products improperly.
I've actually always WANTED to be able to read people's minds. My SISTER did a movie with super-powers and that's the one I WOULD have wanted, so I really lucked out. The negative is that people are really cruel in their own minds, but you can weed out the bad people from the GOOD people, and then just HANG out with the good people.
