Here's a cached story that made the rounds of the Internet in the past week:

For Many With Disabilities, Freedom To Be Intimate Is Rare

Too early for reports to be reliable, but saw something about a facility for developmental disabilities being targeted. Given that and the fact that I was thinking about visiting a friend in that town this weekend, this hits close to home in a few too many ways for me.

Twitterz are reporting 12 dead, but completely unconfirmed.

 

[TheSportsPredictor]

Syrian refugees at work, no doubt.

12 dead. 3 shooters in a black SUV being hunted.

When I lived in San Berdoo several years ago, it had the highest per-capita murders of anywhere in the U.S.

Before I left, a guy was shot to death at a bar three blocks from my hoodish apartment complex. It was a bar I frequented on my days off -- like every day off.

But, still, three gunmen? What the ****?

If only the mentally handicapped were armed.

I guess we need good retarded guys with guns so they can defend themselves.

 

[Starman]

We already got plenty

 

[TyWebb]

Nice to see so many people out there enjoying our Second Amendment.

There have been 334 days and 351 mass shootings so far this year

Stop.

 

[Baron Scicluna]

Stop.

Aside from his use of the word, "retarded", why?

 

[SnarkShark]

Aside from his use of the word, "retarded", why?

That was he main reason. And nobody is saying the mentally disabled should have guns. I understand the point he was trying to make, but it doesn't hold water in this case, and the method he used to communicate that point is ****ty.

If only the mentally handicapped were armed.

I would argue that most concealed carry folk are mentally handicapped.

 

[RickStain]

I would argue that most concealed carry folk are mentally handicapped.

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.

I get that you're just trying to make a funny riff, but I suspect you'd be surprised at how many reasonable people, maybe even people you know, concealed carry.

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.
