    These people also care more about what happens to fictional people than what happens to real people.

    They want to restrict access to virtual guns, but actively fight any efforts to restrict access to real ones. It’s so dumb

      Precisely. It’s easy to give oneself the moral high ground when the hill you choose to die on costs significantly less in time, effort and money. Helping real people is far too expensive but if you make yourself sound like a humanitarian by defending fictional people then that’s pretty cost-effective.
