    I totally agree that a woman should be the one to make a decision on whether or not to bear a child.

    And I am willing to bet that a very large % of murderers also believe there is a time to kill, so what's the big deal?

    There are plenty of countries where guns are restricted and have higher suicide rates than the US, if someone wants to die they will find a way...

    Gun death statistics for the US include suicides (which account for more than 50% of gun deaths in the US), and they include thug on thug murders.

    I have absolutely no reason to believe that fewer truly innocent people would be murdered if those very same people were disarmed.

    Mothers should choose the slain; and here in the US, they by and large do. Including abortion, mothers are BY FAR the deadliest demographic in the US today. Including abortion, mothers kill many, many times more people every year than men do.

    KEEP ABORTION LEGAL
    LET MOTHERS CHOOSE THE SLAIN
    AFTER ALL, MOMS KNOW

    Yes, we already established its just your opinion not based on any facts, which provides you with the very reason not to believe actual statistics.

    It is not inhumane. If a person wants to commit suicide, who are you to say that they can't? According to your logic, they MUST stay alive and SUFFER. THEY must not be allowed to relieve their own suffering by leaving this veil of tears. IMHO, that is more inhumane than the OP's position.

    The Law is The Law.

    Sadly, Atheists do not know or follow The Law.

    Atheism lead to Nazism and to a milder but still severe Communist Totalitarianism.

    Your nic implies you have kids. Do you feel the same way about your own kids should they suffer from depression and become suicidal? Would you just shrug if they succeeded?

    Atheism has nothing to do with "following the law" or not

    Thank you for sharing your story before.

    Fortunately, no one in my family has been in such situation.

    I do have Autism and Depression, but never to that degree.

    As someone who can not "work like a normal person", I am also scared by Darwinists.

    Of course I wouldn't. However, I hope I would not be so weak in character to use my kid's suicide to justify taking away the constitutionally protected gun rights of my fellow citizens. This is what many on the left are doing now.

    Suicide by gun is not a legitimate reason for attacking the 2nd amendment.... it really really isn't.

    It is sad that many "Conservatives" are against The Bible.

    I am neither Liberal nor Conservative.

    Try for a consistent thought.

    Oh and are you accusing me of something above?

    You've really got to work on your polemics. All, and I do mean all, of your arguments are predicated on particular characterizations of the things you factor into your arguments. If those factors were characterized in any other way, your arguments fall apart.
    You've really got to learn to employ something other than a straw dog tactic. It's transparent and sophomoric.
    Seriously, you seem bright, if not a bit immature. Try another angle.

    Good luck getting anywhere with such insensitive phrasing. You gotta dress it up for todays snowflakes or you're just a 'hater.' But in the most simple terms, you're right.

    Utter friggin' nonsense. Atheism has nothing to do with following the law. The law has nothing to do with religion or god. Humans make the law.

    The Nazi's weren't atheists. In fact they wrapped themselves up in the flag and the church whenever convenient.
    The commies are atheists and corrupt scumbags that think human nature should be subsumed in service to the collective. It just took a while for the rot to destroy the soviets.

    My opinions, like my body, look best naked. I don't dress them "up". I dress them down if I dress them at all.

    You are very correct

    Plus there is the “weapons effect” in operation

    Thank you. Indeed, in USA crime rate is much higher then in most places.

    Those who support the Second Amendment do not value Human Life. They have also forgotten the commandment not to "put a stumbling block before the blind".

    To a large degree I am scared of Social Darwinism because I have Autism and Depression. Darwinists see no value in "non-productive" people. That is scary.
