Given our credentials, I worry when academics, apparently, retweet papers that agree with their scholarly priors or sociopolitical ideology without actually scrutinizing the scholarship (to be clear, I have been guilty of this myself too).

Concretely, if someone who favours strict gun control reports study results that suggest maybe it's not so necessary, that's pretty interesting to me. But if a 2A absolutist does, it's not really so interesting.
Obvious changes apply, mutatis mutandis, to almost any social issue, nothing special about guns.
