Hypothetical candidate A is for
- Universal health care
- An end to the Iraq war

Also supports reasonable restrictions on the ownership of firearms, possibly requiring a license and/or training for certain types, and, yes, maybe even a ban on other types.

Do you allow your single pet issue to affect your vote for this candidate, and if so, why is it not utter selfishness on your part, considering that the courts would probably strike down any gun laws anyway?

Believe it or not, guns are at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to the important issues of the day. It would be nice if the propagandists weren't so successful at convincing a sizable chunk of the population that the so called "gun grabbers" are such a terrible threat.

Open your eyes to the psychological manipulation by the powerful corporate interests. Wake up.
