This is actually beautifully telling that that's what you responded with.

You've been convinced that you would obviously take up arms if anything you cared about that much wasn't fixed by voting.

Anything that sounds like something you would care about probably isn't true, because you've been living in this same world with these same issues that haven't been solved by voting for (how long has it been?) and you haven't picked up your gun yet. So obviously that issue isn't happening or isn't as bad as people say (or maybe they're lying to you???), and you can twist yourself into knots justifying and rationalizing why you support it because hey, you haven't taken up arms about it and you probably never will.
