60. I'm both pro RKBA (Right to Keep and Bear Firearms), and Pro- Choice.
My view on both issues basically comes down to... if an individual or group, isn't shitting in your yard, then leave them the fuck alone.

WRT to firearms ownership... I've been an avid gun owner/collector/shooter for over 30 years (never had any interest in hunting).

In all those years I've neither shot anyone (either accidentally or on purpose), nor have I ever had a desire to shoot anyone.

I'm also a long time member of the NRA (yeah I know, boo/hissss...). The critics of my choice to join the NRA can save their comments and accusations for someone else or for some other time. I have no intention of canceling my membership anytime soon.

I'm all to well aware that there are many people who have no interest in owning firearms or participating in shooting sports. I have no problem with that. What I do have a problem with is
people who would try to greatly diminish/restrict/or eliminate my right to own and use firearms.

WRT to the issue of abortion... I believe in the same rule of minding ones own business.

I fully support a womans right to choose under all circumstances and conditions with one exception.
I don't have a problem with parental consent and/or notification laws. My belief in that has nothing to do with the right to choose or the right to life. Abortion is a medical procedure with risks. A parent should have the right to know or give permission for any procedure that could put risk their childs health at risk... be it getting a tattoo, piercing or abortion.

Don't like firearms? Don't own one.

Don't like abortion? Don't get one.
