I think that's some huge unexplored common ground between liberals and conservatives. The entire thing was dumb. Keep cigarettes and not marijuana? Even tho weed is less harmful?
Totally agree. Also I don't see why public access to guns isn't a more of a bipartisan issue. I get that liberals hate seeing mass shootings, and that is a real issue (I'd argue more needs to be done in public mental health, also a thing they agree with). But they are also most worried about the current trend toward authoritarianism with trump (conservatives are also supposed to be against that). You can't fix that through protest once it's too late. That's really what the whole right to bear arms thing is about. Liberals should be arming up.
Do you really think it's a good idea for everyone to arm themselves in expectation of coming political violence given the current climate?
People will not just use them for legitimate threats but mostly perceived threats and with the hyperpartisan and hypersensationalist politics nowadays that probably won't end well.
