Of course I had to look at the website, which doesn't actually exist. At least not yet. Well played!

Actually, a baby with a gun wouldn't do anything. To start off with, a fetus would not be able to hold a gun. Not only that, they wouldn't have the cognitive development to know what was going on, let alone, react in an appropriate manner. That's just science, which I'm sure is the devil to you.
Also, how would a fetus know how to shot a gun. An untrained person with a gun is pretty dangerous. And...gun in the womb would definitely put the infant and mother in danger. What if it went off by accident? Then again, who cares about the health of the mother, right?
And since the fetus is a person, what if he is predisposed to a severe mental illness and it develops in the womb? You going to give THAT fetus a gun?! Next thing you know it, his little arm is gonna stick out from the vagina and start shooting random people on the street. Then you're going to have to send the fetus to trial, because that's what we do to humans that commit crimes. But hey, that's just me.
Then again, my mind is so weak, I change my beliefs solely based on bumper stickers I see on cars.

It would be a "baby" gun just so it would fit into it's hands. Depends on what state the baby is born in too. If Fla, the baby can claim Stand Your Ground, and never spend a day in jail.

Reminds me of "Save the preconceived babies" which is, of course, satire:

The anti-2A nut drivel gets further from reality every day.
There is another OP somewhere on DU asking why the "gun nuts" are not out defending the anti-2A nuts from NSA 4A violations.
