I haven't had a real opinion on gun control for years... Am I deluding myself when I say I have no strong feelings one way or the other? The idea that I am having an argument with myself when I think about gun control, and must offer myself a way to save face and concede to myself that I was wrong is silly.

If I am self-aware enough to think "I need to trick myself into being neutral," I couldn't have been too close-minded in the first place.
