That's at least distinctly how I feel and sure I try to make that case. What I'm not trying to do though is to tell anyone how one 'should' feel about those things. Like a good NLP pupil, I just offer emotions :)

Which in my understanding might just mean you might vote for GOP candidates for Congress. You seem to advocate voting for Trump just so a constellation of the Dems controlling both chambers plus the WH cannot happen, and well, this seems a bit shaky for me to comprehend. Not with this particular alternative to Biden at least.

As we've discussed before, Europe has a very limited history of civilian access to weaponry outside of Switzerland. Also, as I've stated before, the Framers used Europe as an example of why civilian firearm ownership was important, as the lack of it in Europe allowed oppression and totalitarian rule, historically, if not at that exact point and time.
Well, I never felt that wide spread gun confiscation was part of the current democratic party's agenda, but I sure don't know as much about that as you. Just regarding Europe, as of now my country has 8 million inhabitants that own one million licenced guns, so it's not like we widely outlawed them. And even though you said as much yourself, I generally feel that an 18th century assessment does not hold much significance in 2020.
