15. Yes guns.
I don't own a gun , and never will.

That is your choice to make. I respect your choice.

Have you ever known of any one who was shot to death, either accidently or purposely?

No.

I knew a few and have concluded that another gun would just be more death.

Possibly so. The question is, who's dying? Good guys or bad guys? When the good guys are disarmed they are at the mercy of the bad guys.

You probably claim to be pro life. If so then how can you support carrying a weapon?

As I've said before, I'm torn on the abortion issue. When I was single, I was all for risk-free getting laid. Now that I have a daughter, I would never consider killing her, at any stage of her life.

Nonetheless, I can see how the most ardent pro-lifer can be pro-death in certain cases. Usually they are for the life of the innocent, and for the death of the corrupt and dangerous. Surely it cannot be hard to differentiate between a baby and a thug.

If I'm wrong, well I'm sorry

You're wrong, and apology accepted. :)

but I'll never advocate allowing total restriction free gun use.

Well you should be quite happy to know that we don't have "total restriction free gun use" today. There are numerous restrictions on gun use.
