What I dislike is that the liberal platform has become more gun friendly than in the past but in the way of seeing gun ownership as a less important issure than others rather than out of principle. That was largely my opinion about guns before that shift. So now I feel like I'm towing the party line, which sucks.
Yes, I've fired guns before. No, I don't feel the desire to own a gun and don't really understand the appeal to. As for gun related deaths, I'm skeptical that gun control could make a substantial impact on those numbers. I think there are other, more obscure influences over those. Even further, I'm now living in country on the other side of the world. It's an apathy sandwich with cynicism sauce.
