Because it isn't about doing harm. It is about doing "unnecessary harm". What do I need to protect myself and my family? I need a handgun. I don't need a semi-automatic to do that --- unless the other guy has one as well. What is the minimum needed for a civilian? If they take away my AR-15, I lose nothing. I can still protect myself with my handgun. If they take away my handgun, I lose my protection.We don't ban handguns because we all have the right to protect ourselves. But that right should not extend to unnecessary force. That is going above and beyond our need. It isn't about the number of deaths. Maybe it should be. I don't know. But for me, I need a gun, because a guy with a knife would be too much for me without a gun.
So what you’re saying is that rights should be valued more than deaths? Pardon me but that’s the entire conservative argument. If you cared about deaths then you’d ban handguns, but you clearly disagree because rights supercede those. I could argue the same thing for semi automatic rifles.
I support abortion ONLY IN THE 1ST TRIMESTER (3 months). There is no real brain tissue yet. I wasn't dodging. I separate the terms "life" and "consciousness-capable life". The is just me, but this is what I go by. The brain tissue doesn't really even begin to form (in the cranial cavity) until after the 1st Trimester. So, yes, there is "life", but no, it is not yet "consciousness-cable life" in the first 3 months. So yes, for me, it is not yet human. It is life, but so is a blade of grass. I don't mean that to sound harsh. I just don't believe it is anything yet.
Using that logic a person in a coma should be allowed to be killed. Being conscious or not doesn’t give fundamental rights. That’s just as arbitrary as saying if you’re black you don’t have rights. At the point of conception human life is formed. If you’re ok with ending a human life , your morals are just fundamentally different than mine. The science is very clear. A person doesn’t become a human and gain rights when the baby forms a brain. Scientifically it’s either at conception or after being removed from the womb. Any other definition is contradictory to science.
I believe in handguns. Even though the formal definition includes them, I don't believe Biden does. But I would be just as happy with a revolver if it came to that. I don't want my gun taken away. I just want excessive force gone -- like I said above.
So are you saying Biden is lying about his platform? Handguns kill more. Logically speaking we ban them instead of handguns.
I hope I explained it well enough above. I think there is logic to it. I hope Biden hasn't gone too far. But if he has, I will SPEAK OUT AGAINST IT --- AND HIM IF NECESSARY.
I personally don’t think he knows what he stands for. He’s been inconsistent on almost every issue. Fracking, guns, abortion, healthcare, environment, etc.
