Pro Lifers should be Anti Gun

Post by TC Talks » Tue May 10, 2016 7:06 pm

Most Pro Lifers are hypocrites. Because deaths due to Guns are the #3 cause of unnatural death in the US, about to surpass vehicle accidents. How can a pro lifer justify supporting a killing machine?

That's similar to so called pro life individuals and groups trying to prevent the legal choice of abortion while supporting the death penalty, and the right to buy and sell and fire assault weapons.

They're NOT pro life. They're anti abortion.

And of course abortion will ALWAYS be an option - legal or not. As it has been in every corner of the world since pregnant females roamed the earth - many DETERMINED not to have a baby. Where there's a will there's a way. Even if they die trying.

Maintaining that banning guns will eliminate gun deaths or murder is akin to thinking that banning Doctors will end abortions.


New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

I'm not a gun fan, but the constitution is a must read...stat.

Just because you own a gun doesn't mean you will use it. And self defense is not murder.

Pro Lifers should be Anti Gun


The subject line is such a perfectly logical statement, no further elaboration was even necessary. How could anyone even dispute it?

There is almost 100% chance someone will die from an abortion. (700,000 per year in US)
(0.2 % of population is aborted each year.)

Only a tiny percentage of guns are involved in a death of a person (9,000 per year in us) and there are more guns than persons in the US.
(0.003% is gun related homicides)

TCT your passion very is displaced...

In other words, pick a fight worth fighting...

If you are Pro Life... Then you must also be anti death penalty. Life is life right?

The Roman Catholic Church is officially pro life. That means it is anti abortion, anti contraception, anti euthanasia, and anti death penalty. At least it is consistent. And that is what all pro life individuals and groups should strive to be - consistent. Otherwise they are not pro life. They are only anti abortion.

TT once stated something that applies here:

A car is a tool to transport you from A to B. Cars can also kill.

A knife's primary uses are numerous, mostly for cutting. Knives can also kill

A Gun is designed to kill. You can't open a can or change the TV channel with one, killing is its purpose.

So if you support guns you do support killing. Audio, as for the second amendment, are you suggesting you are putting country before God? No where is the constitution does it say abortion is not permitted. With your logic, you should be totally fine with abortion.

And as such it's a useful tool. It depends on who or what is being killed.

If a group of five large bad guys, with perfectly legal baseball bats, break into your home in the middle of the night, would it be a useful tool to have? Might just the fact that the homeowner may have a gun make the bad guys have second thoughts about entering in the first place?


To me, except for hunting, a guns most useful purpose is that of a deterrent. Do you think it's a coincidence that pretty much all of the mass shootings we have experienced have been in gun free zones?


New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

It's a big leap to assume that someone who is packing can overcome fear and pull that gun out and fire it accurately the same way a trained police officer or military officer could... Civilians generally don't have that kind of ability... They can try I suppose...

You missed my deterrent point.

So the same scriptures for killing unborn children doesn't apply to killing a fellow man? Your typical pro gun speak doesn't work when applied to the 1st commandment. It's sin plain and simple.
