Americans and their gun culture: attached at the hip (Spectator.co.uk reviews "Gun Baby Gun")

4. Thanks.

I was naware of that forum but I just wanted to start a discourse on the topic.

I understand the importance of affinity groups but feel that it additional voices that do not reflect a constant narrative prevents "star chamber" syndrome and bad decisions.

I am sometimes reminded of an early gay rights case called Bowers where one of the Justices stated:

Justice Lewis F. Powell, Jr. was considered the deciding vote during the case. He had initially voted to strike down the law but changed his mind after conservative clerk Michael W. Mosman advised him to uphold the ban.[8][9] In a concurring opinion, Powell voiced doubts about the compatibility of Georgia's law with the Eighth Amendment as it related to the prison sentence for conviction, but joined the majority opinion in upholding the law against a substantive due process attack. It has been argued that Powell's decision to uphold the law was influenced by the fact that he believed he had never known any homosexuals, unaware that one of his own law clerks was gay.
