I try hard to avoid “common sense”. It’s a way of saying, “If you don’t agree, you’re not sensible.” Also, it’s intentionally vague.
“We need common sense gun laws!”
“Like what exactly”
“…”
A revolver in the hand of every youngin you say?
Also because it’s clearly a misnomer. “common sense” is ironically not that common 🙃
Common sense is a catch-all for whatever the speaker thinks is obvious. There’s really no such thing
