no one in the US lives by hunting for food.

That's patently untrue. Many people, especially those without a lot of money, use hunting as a means to feed themselves and their families. One deer goes a long way in terms of food for the cost.

It's rather callous to advocate for domestic abuse victims to be at increased risk of harm or death because a small percentage of people might be wrongfully accused of DV and have their weapons taken away

It's no less callous to dismiss the idea of innocent people being punished. You strike me as the "no guns" type though so I'm getting the vibe that anything that restricts firearms to anyone for any reason makes you happy.

It's rather disingenuous of you to hide behind flimsy fearmongering and pathos in hopes that I won't notice that you opted not to actually compare any of those impassioned words to a dramatically increased risk of murder to complete the risk/benefit analysis.

It is undeniable that a constitutional right is being stripped in these scenarios. You cannot argue in good faith that constitutional rights being stripped are minor inconveniences. The fact that you consider it as such indicates that your risk/benefit analysis is skewed by your lack of regard for a constitutional right.

That really is the only meaningful consequence, though.

Only if you consider being able to go to a shooting range to be the only reason to own a gun.

The one in the case outlined in the article sure is.

You know, the one where lawyers are arguing for the credibly accused domestic abuser to have guns

You didn't answer the question.

See, the issue is that there are four possible outcomes here:

1. Somebody is rightfully accused of domestic violence has their guns taken away
2. Somebody is rightfully accused of domestic violence and does not have their guns taken away
3. Somebody is wrongfully accused of domestic violence and has their guns taken away
4. Somebody is wrongfully accused of domestic violence and does not have their guns taken away

Option 1 dramatically reduces the risk of the DV victim being murdered. Option 2 creates a substantial risk that the DV victim gets murdered. Option 3 means the accused can't go to the range for a few months until the case plays out and they're found innocent. Option 4 is neutral.

We can't easily control whether or not they're wrongfully accused, so our choice is between taking away the guns - which will either dramatically reduce the risk of murder or mildly inconvenience the accused - and not taking them away - which will either dramatically increase the risk of murder or maintain the status quo. That's not exactly a difficult choice.

It's rather disingenuous of you to portray being stripped of a constitutional right as being mildly inconvenienced and to pretend that the only consequence of having ones guns taken away is being unable to go to the range.

They don't just hand out restraining orders for kicks. The person requesting an order needs to provide evidence as to why they're seeking an order.

This challenge was looking to put guns in the hands of a very credibly accused domestic abuser.

I worked for the Oregon courts for 5 years. You might be surprised at how little evidence is required for a restraining order. You might also be surprised at how little it takes to charge someone with domestic violence and how biased against men the justice system is in terms of DV cases. DV cases are very often instances of both parties being violent towards one another but only the man gets charged. I once saw a man charged with felony DV assault for cutting his drunk wife's hand when he yanked the keys away from her so she couldn't drive.

I don't disagree with taking guns out of the hands of some people accused of DV, but with some knowledge of the system, it's not hard to see why people would be against guns being taken away from people.

Certainly, but the fact of the matter is that broad student loan forgiveness simply isn't going to happen within the framework of our government. Too many roadblocks and people in power who don't want it to happen. It is far more feasible to put all efforts into improving lives for everyone via things like reducing cost of living and increasing wages and doing so would actually have measurable results.

Student Loan Forgiveness would be nice for people, but it's an obvious carrot-on-a-stick at this point. Efforts would be much better focused on things like improving wages and decreasing living costs, but those are gradual and small changes that could actually be attained so we can't have that. Gotta dangle that sexy five-figure loan forgiveness carrot that is easily handwaved away at the last second because that's what the hyper-rich want people to focus on.
