If you outlaw abortion, it will be more difficult to get an abortion (but they will still happen illegally).
If you outlaw guns, it will be more difficult to commit a crime with a gun (but they will still happen illegally).
No one wants to ban all guns. We want a federal background check so someone who is banned from owning guns in their home state (for, say, beating the shit out of their wife… aggravated assault tends to indicate a high risk of future murder) can’t just hop a state line the moment he gets out of prison and get a gun to finish the job.
You need to actually pay attention to what happens around you. There are plenty of people in the USA that want complete bans on all firearms. You can start with Dr. RaShall Brackney, Chief of the Charlottesville VA PD: “I believe any weapon that can be used to hunt individuals should be banned.” Think that through for awhile.
Just because some extremists are out there does not mean that the meme logic adds up. It says “liberal logic”. Most liberals are not looking to take ALL guns. Assault weapons? That’s mixed.
About 70% of people from both parties support background checks
In general, the discussion becomes heated because without level-headed regulations the extremists from both sides tend to be much more vocal. Now, the gun ownership is a complex issue. For example, in many countries (especially in Europe) permit exists because said countries have very tight regulations concerning personal data protection and a private person like a gun store clerk cannot get an insight into someone’s medical history or criminal record. The permit is simply a proof that ‘no objections exist’ without divulging any details.
Without tying weapons to people and background checks for any sale a country might as well have no regulation concerning sales.
Every argument the ‘From my cold dead hands’ lobby becomes bullshit when you compare what life is like in countries that have banned guns. Unfortunately for Americans who would see their country join the ranks of those who’ve grown up enough to get rid of them, there’s the NRA and the idiots that think more guns are the answer to drag them back down again. Fear keeps the need alive, and fear keeps them locked in a prison of their own making. America has also yet to evolve a collective conscience about killing for pleasure and nature apparently being there to provide its sport. Real men shoot animals with cameras, not guns.
There’s a difference in something being illegal across the nation (like abortion) and restriction (such as military design and grade guns with high capacity magazines, and requiring a background check on gun sales, new and used, store or private sale). Guns will not – cannot, be made illegal, and the meme maker her knows this.
We only have hearsay evidence on a crime. Do we want to hear witnesses? No.
It’s not wonky logic, it’s looking at precedent elsewhere, honey. We call this fact-based approach ‘research’.
Heroin is banned 100% everywhere, so nobody can use it. RIGHT?

… AND illegal abortions are more likely to cause another death.
“Life is sacred, have that baby, even if you are too poor!”
Cuts all programs to help the poor. ( What would Jesus do?)
Cuts programs to help provide birth control so unwanted pregnancies don’t happen in the first place.
Cuts to all sex ed resources that would help prevent unwanted pregnancies.
Preaches abstinence…. #Doesn’tWork
Wants country with #freedom. Makes laws restricting sexual freedoms.
That country is a christian fundamentalist shithole.
Against abortion? – Don’t have one!
Want to prevent abortions? – Make birth control available to anyone who wants it.
GOP logic dictates that birth control is baby murder too.
Where does it start to become murder?

Draw the line between weapon and tool:
– pitchfork
– hammer
– axe
– knife

Rather than liberal vs. conservatives arguments. Look at the statistics in countries who have banned guns.
That would quite hard, given that very few if any developed countries ‘banned guns’.

Abortion takes a human life every time it is performed. . Very few gun purchases result in murder .
