On DU today I have seen many people doing exactly that when it comes to guns.
I have seen the same said about religion and such as well.
On the right similar such things about Islam, Russia, China, et al.
My feelings about the world at large do, and will, impact decisions I make. I would not let my daughter go to Syria for a school project to study Damascus right now for example 
It is not the guns that bother me now. Back in my day people had pretty easy access to them. In my dad's day they actually took them to school and had classes about how to shoot them (as well as an archery class).
Our society is getting worse while telling us we are more secure. We spend a ton on security and TSA and armored vehicles and keep telling ourselves we are potential terrorists - but still we only react and do not prevent.
