Gun ownership poll

[G1911]

A person who is against abortion has determined that a fetus is a life, that that life is human, and that it is thus wrong to murder this innocent life.

A person who is for the death penalty thinks that some particularly vile crimes should include death as a possible punishment, after trial and conviction for said crime.

I don't see any contradiction between these viewpoints. The argument that it is a contradiction ignores the factor of guilt entirely.

That life is sacred and should be preserved does not mean there are not instances when taking it is justifiable. Agree, it's a false inconsistency.

The mother of the POS shooter saying her child "had their reasons" is the most despicable thing I've seen regarding this during. The police response is the most atrocious. Threads like this are the most disrespectful.

A thread that has been pretty polite and mannered debating firearms ownership is the most disrespectful thing you have ever encountered?

I was going to say, for a quasi-political thread, this one has been pretty mild. It's even going better than the Nolan Ryan thread in the sports talk section.

I think you may have found the reason the kid was so screwed up, and the reason that more gun legislation would not solve this problem alone. Unless of course we can legislate getting rid of POS parents that raise POS kids that shoot other people, I'd be a yes vote on that.

I guess I spoke too soon.
