Of course it’s not my feelings speaking as personally I don’t care one way or the other. If the science said owning a gun made you safer I would be all for it.
Accidental shootings comprise about 500 of the 35,000 gun deaths per year, so we are talking about 1.5% of gun deaths. Of these deaths, many are children who wouldn’t get any benefit from training. So what we are really doing here is talking about some wonderful compromise to prevent some fraction of one percent of gun deaths. That’s just not worth enough to compromise for. The better answer is no gun ownership.
Science surely isn’t the be all end all but I don’t find the protection of people’s ability to own lethal weapons to be a particularly worthwhile moral hill to die on. Maybe you do!
If you think both parties are the same and employ similar methods then you must not have been paying attention all these years. For example the coronavirus stimulus bill. What do you think the vote would have been with a democratic president?
Regardless, you do you. If you want to enable American fascism by not voting for its opponents after this November then that’s a moral choice you will have to live with.
