(1,232 posts)entire disease that is private gun ownership in the USA. Treat the disease, not the symptoms.
What injustice? How is effective birth control 'injustice'? A mass of fetal cells, a bunch of sperm, eggs, that didn't result in the fruition of a human life isn't subjected to any sort of injustice unless you believe that those fetal cells somehow are endowed with rights superior to the sentient woman in who's belly they're residing. By placing more priority on those cells in her womb and usurping that woman's free will, you reduce her to a second class citizen and are removing her rights. Most civilized people believe the sentient human is more important than the unwanted fetal cells. Usually the argument against birth control is rooted in the belief that women are dirty and unclean for having sex. And a vagina. And for not being male. Confusing, isn't it?
Birth control and guns have absolutely nothing in common with each other. Nothing, zilch, zero, no common ground. At all. Ever.
Guns do more harm than good, the statistics don't lie.
I support a ban all gun ownership in the USA except for agricultural purposes, just like the rest of the civilized countries have done. It's working pretty darned good for them in terms of dramatically reducing the numbers of gun related deaths and injuries, you can't argue with that.
