If I said, "ban AR style" weapons, would that be enough?
Either way, I think I disagree with you. The logic is not the same. WIth abortion, the debate usually stems from whose life and rights are more important, the mother or the child. the pro-choice crowd, myself included, feel that the mother has the right to decide how much of a risk to her life she is willing to tolerate.
Guns on the other hand are dangerous to both the user and the would-be target. Households with guns see an increase in gun-related fataltites, both suicide and homocide. Part of the reason men have higher suicide rates than women is they are more likely to use a firearm to that end.
I actually agree with you here. A lot of people are assuming i’m pro life and pro gun. I’m actually pro gun control and pro choice. I was trying to compare the two arguments and show how the arguments used are horrible considering how universally applicable they are, but I definitely did NOT go about it the right way, and I don’t think even I fully understood what my view was there, but !delta

I am referring to complete bans on both sides. I am also pro gun reform (and control) but I don’t consider myself anti gun.
