Guns and Abortion

Isn't it odd that the NRA is compiled of pro-life supporters ?

Basically their argument for the right of people to bear arms carries more weight than that of;

1) relatives of victims killed by assault weapons and want those types of killings to end by enacting stricter gun laws or,

2) women who have been raped, the right to an abortion ?

At what age is aborting a life worthy of a law to defend itself ? Only when it is deemed important to a certain part of society ?

Rights are afforded to all if I remember correctly. There has to be compromise somewhere ?

Compromise ? Sorry, I was dreaming and just woke up.

I took it to mean that "liberals" were "against guns" but "for abortion."

It is a shallow thought.

we were in the same line quue and I looked at her said "no, but it would if they used coat hangers."

She didn't say anything, not sure if she understood.

gun-loving republican brother-in-law the same question, and he replied, "More targets." He laughed, so I guess I was supposed to think he was joking.
