Ethics of Care: Gun Control

Josiealeese May 10, 2019 at 07:47 2725 views 4 comments

Can you help me explain how the three technologies of the Ethics of Care:
Relationality (intersectionality)
Activism
Socializing Care
give way to the pro gun control argument for an upcoming project?
I have an idea that intersectionality, or rather a lack thereof, leads to a continuous system of oppression which in turn leads to more gun crime. We can not address gun violence without talking about class, race, sex, and other various oppressions. But for the other two technologies, I am having trouble getting there.

Hope you might find some theme in that thread that you can exploit.

Argument? There is no argument.

Perhaps this: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2019/may/10/athlete-shootings-swane-simmons-jaylon-mckenzie-kareem-abdul-jabbar?CMP=fb_gu&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwAR25VXxNr0HycbmI4gz99MlOugCaBDRzquwmIwL2xYoXB2pCAeqMxpDlMAg#Echobox=1557491332

Quoting Josiealeese

I have an idea that intersectionality, or rather a lack thereof, leads to a continuous system of oppression which in turn leads to more gun crime.

FYI, any neutral research on this subject (unlike the frequently quoted, NRA-sponsored propaganda) does not find that more guns means less crime. And besides DoJ data, CDC data, and University research (which are all only piecemeal studies), there is almost no source of neutral information in the USA.

I did put a couple of years into formulating answers, and the results suggested a gun violence tax would fix the problem via utilitarian pressure to reduce the tax. So now of course I must be biased. Here is a link to my study.

I wrote a sequel, which I sent to John Oliver, and he did a show based on it:
