I agree.
Frankly, I don't find it very civil to try to deprive me of my rights; regardless of the language used.
I don't find it very civil to accuse me of being part of the criminal problem because I own a firearm.
I don't find it very civil to be accused of compensating for anything other then the inability to throw a rock at 850 feet per second.
When others start being civil to me then we won't have a problem.
