Most people perception really have no importance here or anywhere where science is used. That is a fallacy. If most people think that I’m blue it doesn’t make me blue.

Gun culture is more prevalent in the right. Yes. Now saying that right wing people are more likely to resort to guns is a different statement. Would you agree?

That’s the kind of nuance that makes that statement a perverse premise in my opinion.

No. I don’t have any data, but I’m not making any claims so the burden of proof is not on me :)

You are making a claim. You are claiming that both sides a equally likely to resort to guns and as such the burden of proof on that claim lies with you.
