What’s hypocritical is they want to ban guns because they say it’s to prevent children from getting massacred in a classroom, but they have no problem with the mass killing of innocents as long as it’s while the child is in the womb and as long as it’s what the mother wanted. What makes abortion worse than what happened at Sandy Hook elementary is that mothers give their consent to the cold killing of their baby while the government tells them that it’s their right. It would be like if the mothers at an elementary school knew that a spree killer was coming to the school and they got in line to offer up their children to him.
Outstanding Post!!
4000 are killed every day by abortion and tragic shooting in Newtown shows a disrespect for life from Adam Lanza as abortion shows the unborn child
Both abortion and gun control are fatally flawed in their DNA. They seek physical solutions to spiritual problems. The only thing that needed controlling in Sandy Hook was a single, gravely troubled man. The State of Connecticut chose not to control him and paid a horrible price.
They’d say, “Give us your guns first, then we’ll give up abortions.” Once the guns are given up, they’ll make sure there is more abortion access than ever.
As a liberal, I would say yes, with the exceptions of the mother’s life, rape, incest, and certain extreme congenital diseases. The family, with the guidance of their pastor and doctor, should make the decision in these cases. This would be in accord with Jewish Law for the most part. But I wouldn’t want to ban all guns owned by all civilians, such as those used by hunters, collectors, or those who wish to protect their home and business; only military-assault weapons. And also to make sure the gun loopholes at gun shows are closed and that the current laws for access are strictly enforced. A national database including criminals and those mentally ill people who are dangerous would also be desirable, if it is not already in existence.
That is simply not true. Did you see any of the 2012 presidential election campaign? All the Democrats talked about was a so-called “war on women” and how they were afraid that Romney would be a threat to Roe VS Wade. But Republicans wanted to talk about the economy.
Great post!Then why are some liberals calling for the murder of NRA members?
How tight do controls have to be? The laws get stricter every year, yet the murders keep happening. The problem isn’t guns, it’s bad parenting and a total lack of respect for our fellow man. We humans have devolved to a point where there’s no respect, manners, or sense of personal responsibility.
I wrote that gun control is not as important for liberals as abortion for conservatives (or for liberals). Not that abortion isn’t an important issue for liberals.
