Er... personally I am always amazed that conservatives heads don't explode from the massive cognitive dissonance.
A kid raped by her father who gets an abortion is a despicable murderer. But... we should arm more people with guns whose only real purpose is to kill another human being.
Life is sacred 'till you're born. Then you're fair game?

This Pandora's box has been open for a very long time. I'm afraid that even hope will escape it should we try to close it.
The mere existence of these weapons in the population makes them a deterrent for some crimes against the elderly and disabled. Even if it isn't a deterrent for some criminals, I would rather see the scumbag criminal breaking into an old person's home die than the old person getting killed, robbed, or otherwise abused. Dead criminals don't commit additional crimes.
Hmmm, as I recall, all the school shootings have occurred on campuses where carrying a firearm is illegal. Could it be that law abiding gun owners don't want to break the law by carrying a weapon where it is illegal to do so?
There was a mall shotting that was stopped by an off duty cop who was carrying his weapon in store where it was posted that people were not allowed to carry firearms. Did that guy stop shooting people because he realized he wasn't supposed to be carrying his weapon there, or did he st
No legislation will make the weapons simply vanish from existence. The weapons exist, they are already in the hands of the people who would perform such acts, or in the hands of dealers who will sell to those people. When I say dealers here, I'm not just referring to legal weapons dealers, but also the underground black-market guys that will sell anything to anyone that has the cash.

I want to see liberals' heads explode when they realize that Socialized medicine is being used to buy people guns.

Again, your argument is invalid.
School shootings would not occur if people could not get their hands on weapons.
The only reason they do occur is because people do get their hands on firearms.
