It's impossible to support gun control without at least marginally increasing the epistemic probability that you are a person who should be shot.

Rationality to me seems to be mostly about the capacity to think laterally in such a way that you escape seemingly unavoidable traps. If you just adjust behavior every time you're confronted with a change in probability you are probably comprehensively insane.
