Think of the lives that are saved by rights provided by our 2ND Amendment.
RIGHTS that keeps murderers, thieves, rapist and communists from TRYING to OVERTAKE ME to kill me,
my family or TO rob me of my life , my goods or my FREEDOM granted me and PROTECTED by THE BILL OF RIGHTS.
It's not possible to determine that calculus HOWEVER it is part of our heritage because the Founding Fathers determined it as POSITIVE against the overall tyranny of our enemies both foreign and domestic.
The second amendment is an integral part of who we are as a people and has deterred our enemies these 244 years.
It seems once again communism manifested in progressive globalism once more threatens our freedom.
Doctors LEGAL scalpels and meat grinders kill by extreme and excruciating violence far more innocent life than LEGAL firearms. OH but this slaughter the globalist give their approval.
Think of the lives which shall be saved when we rescind Roe v. Wade IN 2020 - 2024.

The second amendment had two main purposes. The first purpose was to help preserve the institution of slavery for as long as they thought it would last. The second more important purpose of that amendmment was to be able to legitimize popular revolt if the US government as it was known at the time would be overthrown in a coup. The second purpose of that amendment has completely fallen by the wayside because the US government now has a personal army that can regain control of the main branches of government should a coup ever happen. Albeit to be fair, you can still make the argument that people should have the right to bear firearms to keep slaves under their control. Contrary to popular belief the thirteenth amendment did not abolish slavery. It preserved it if the person that had to me made slave was first convicted of a crime. The Clintons used this loophole to let prisoners clean their house for free.
And to make things even more fun I'll state that famous abolitionist J.S. Mill used bodily autonomy as an argument against slavery. That is the very same bodily autonomy that pro-choicers fervently defend.
Admit it. You want slavery to remain legal in the US.
Sure, sure…
Firearm-related death rate per 100,000 population per year
US of A: 12.21 (2017)
Sweden: 1.60 (2015)
You have right to bear arms, we have right to safe gun-handling. Oh, and we’re not devoid of guns:
Guns per 100 inhabitants
US of A: 120.5
Sweden: 23.10
Communism is not pro-abortion, dingbat. They, like conservatives, want lots and lots of children born, to be workers, soldiers and mothers. You two have more in common there, than either of you have with liberals or socialists.
Besides, almost all abortions are done before week 12. Embryos have no functioning nervous system and are not able to feel pain, and are not really ALIVE. Abortions are not done with scalpels, nitwit; you can’t get a scalpel in there. They are either done with medical pills, using suctioning, or with scrapes (curettes). Miscarriages cause just as much “extreme and excruciating violence”, as early abortions done with medication, and they are much, much more common than abortions.
Properly done, abortion is one of the safest procedures in medicine. Childbirth has a 14 times higher risk of death in the US. (Remember, the embryo isn’t legally (or medically) alive.)
Are you a member of a “well regulated militia”? If not then the constitution does give the Federal and State governments power to curtail your access to firearms.
Second do you genuinely believe that if weapons capable of firing dozens of rounds per minute were available in the eighteenth century that James Madison would be okay with anybody walking around with one?

Think of the 19 children murdered in the Alfred P. Murrah Building atrocity by Timothy McVeigh.
And he didn't need a gun.
Only one school shooting in Britain's entire history: 1996. How many since : certainly after guns were banned? No school shootings in Japan. School shootings in the US since 1764.
How many pregnant women murdered in mass shootings in the US?
Enjoy your paradox, OP.
Weird, I would have thought they would provide thoughts and prayers for aborted foetuses, just like they do for victims of shootings. However, they seem a bit more aggressive about abortion. Might it be related to their gun fetish, as opposed to their lack of interest in women’s rights?
The only time I've heard of guns actually being used heroically was when someone tried to have a mass shooting in a Walmart in Colorado. In my area, there was Columbine, the Aurora shooting and a suicide by cop in Longmont.
Have you heard about the attack on a mosque in Norway? A 22-year-old guy with three weapons went into the mosque after the service had ended and only three older men were still there (around 65-70 years old), and started shooting. One of the men wrestled with him and took his weapons, and the others held him until police arrived. No good guy with a gun was needed there, but good guys with strong arms and bouts of courage. The shooter sat in the court hearing, all black and blue in the face from the beatings he took from the old men, and SMILED. Pathetic little weasel!

The only one he (supposedly) killed was his step-sister, at home before he went to the mosque.
O I C, so post natal children’s lives don’t matter. Such as the newly orphaned Paul Anchondo, the children of Sandy Hook and two little girls named Madeline and Alannah Mikac - whose lives ended at 3 and 6, via a crazed gunman with an AR-15, on a Sunday afternoon in Tasmania.

So we have gun control, now. And a certain lunatic here, recently discovered that you don’t need to bring a gun to a knife fight, when a humble milkcrate will suffice.
