(23,156 posts)Unfortunately, the men who pass such legislation will never themselves be pregnant, although some number of them will buy guns.

Or have daughters who get "knocked up" and send them off for an abortion.

(9,895 posts)I want EVERY "pro-lifer" out there to explain why the ability to buy multiple guns, enough ammo to repel the Viet Cong and bullet-proof vests is easier than the ability to have an abortion.
These hypocrites need a reality check and this country needs to be smacked back to reality as well! That would be a GREAT start!

My money would be on California to give ammosexuals the same treatment they inflict on women.
If that's not a smackdown, I don't know what is!

There was an interesting piece written and posted in DU about how abortion is to Republicans as gun control is to Democrats.

(18,998 posts)And I say go ahead and do it if we can...but this will not solve the problem...it could help some but it could also make people who love guns and violence dig in and love it more...the forbidden fruit syndrome.
We have a social problem and until we face that fact laws and actions like this will not work the way we think they will.
And until we face the social issues with honesty we will keep floundering in our violent culture.
But frankly the outlook is pretty bleak. We keep reaching for solutions that will not work. And they don't work because we never address the underlying reasons.
Sorry to be a wet blanket.

(19,537 posts)We here in Oregon just suffered another tragedy last night when police killed a yet to be identified 55 year old women who must have "attacked" three threatened officers with such a monstrous "knife" weapon who felt they had to shoot and kill her to protect themselves a few mies from me...

(1,945 posts)This showed up on my facebook page today and I was pretty sure someone here would repost it. I'm too inept about doing the sharing thing, so I'm glad it's getting exposure. It's so perfectly right on.
Thanks again Kpete!

(13,133 posts)as a prerequisite. But then again, it's really the most dangerous people, the sociopaths, mostly not locked up, who can hold their own bilge till it's time them to lash out, that really are the most dangerous
Also, i am pretty sure those who think that they how protect others don't know what they are really up against.
And a final thought that seems the rule of the day 'The big game has all been hunted down and all the native people's have been conquered so let's just hunt each other instead'
