I've been thinking about "gun-control" proponents [View all]

I know that there are some folks that probably like the idea of "controlling" guns only because it's one more anti-republican ideology. However, I suspect it may in some cases go beyond that. I'm thinking of what's known as decision fatigue.

If you're politically active and concerned with important issues from climate change to water quality to the concentration camps at the border, you might just not want to go through what it takes to be informed enough and use the time it takes to study both sides of all the issues surrounding the topic.

I do read opinions and arguments on both sides of this issue. I understand that many of the pro-control side have major problems with nugent, the NRA and/or Scalia and I have problems with them as well. My opinions are my own and not copy and pasted slogans.

Maybe some loyal Democrats who are all about liberty and freedom have decision fatigue on this issue. Maybe?
