Quoted: While that would be fucking awesome it would probably be short lived. Too many people too stupid to secure them when theyre not around and add in a million ghetto grandmas doing straw purchases. How about no pre 86 post 86 bullshit and streamline the process. View Quote |

If only Roe V. Wade and 2nd Amendment supporters joined forces. Seems like it would be a fairly large group, maybe a huge majority. But alas. Its irreconcilable. |

Quoted: You own yourself. If you don't own yourself, there's no real basis for private property rights. This argument of course ignores morality. But legally, Rothbard argued a fetus is akin to a parasite or a non paying tenant, and can be evicted at the owner's discretion. View Quote |

Quoted: Again, I'm pro life. But I'm just arguing this issue for sake of devil's advocate. From a private property argument, you enter an agreement with the landlord. As savage as it may seem, (legally and philosophically speaking) an unborn child is offering nothing while taking resources. The unborn child is killed due to a decision to no longer provide those nutrients, and physical burdens for free. I do not advocate that position. But the counter argument might be interpreted as a requirement for people to provide for others they do not wish to care for. View Quote |

Quoted: Because the right of the people to keep and bear arms and the right of women to murder inconvenient and unwanted children are really the same thing. View Quote |

While a long shot, this coming up Supreme Court could be the LAST chance for NFA challenges.

Quoted:
This, as morally repugnant as I feel it is, I cant think of anything more dangerous to our idea of freedom than making a woman carry a child to term and birth it if she does not want to........Freedom, can be ugly, that is one inescapable fact. View Quote |

View Quote Roe v Wade isn't rooted in rule of law. It isn't derived from the Constitution. It is made up crap that starts with the desired conclusion, and works backwards . . . None of what I'm saying has anything to do with abortions, BTW. The simple fact is that nothing in the Constitution protects abortions. It is an issue that should be properly left to the states, and if you want to impose it (protect abortions) at the federal level, add it via an amendment. Your argument, as such, is feeeeels, and contrary to rule of law, and hence liberty. |

Their bodies, their choice. I'm alright with morons not breeding.
Just don't expect me to pay for an abortion especially at the end of a gun when contraceptives are practically free. Unless you got raped and are now pregnant, it's all on you and loverboy to deal with it. There are PLENTY of privately funded organizations who will be happy to kill their kid. |

He has to allow the renter to exit alive. In the case of an unborn child that means allowing birth, then the mother can put the child up for adoption. You can't even kill trespassers. You can kill intruders in the home, but that on the assumption they are dangerous. If a home intruder proves to not be dangerous you can't kill him, either. |

Quoted:
hell, I think old white men should not be that interested in vaginas that dont belong to their wife, I am a man and will never have to carry a child so I think I should stay out of the argument. Now I also don't care for abortion, I wont have one, and sure don't want my tax dollars spent on it. But at this point, if it makes the libs cry,I am kinda OK with it View Quote The is a rational tradition the West must uphold. |

The sooner the libs and conservatives come to terms that they live in a country where most people want their guns and abortions, the sooner they’ll just....deal with it, I guess.

Better tell them to go get all of the abortions they can while they're legal. We aren't going to ban abortion. We're just going to pass some common sense abortion control measures.

I don't see a solid 5-4 court flipping roe. Some state outlawed abortion again I assume they'll lose at the trial or appellate level and SC will pass. Only really matters in fly over states and they're effectively outlawing abortion with fake "women's safety regulations" anyway,

To discourage, and restrict the ownership of certain types of firearms. Yes. I know why the NFA exists. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:
Quoted: Do you know why NFA is a tax? Because the Courts of the day would have shot down straight-up gun control in a heartbeat, but passing a tax on the interstate transfer of such (and making it illegal to transport one interstate without proof of paying the excise tax) would be easier to get past the judiciary. |

Quoted: Do you invite a destitute person into your home, then kill them when you realize they're consuming more than you can provide? View Quote Quoted: That's true. But by that same argument, you can morally kill your six-year-old daughter, too. She does nothing but consume resources. View Quote You can tell a destitute or your six year old (respective arguments) to leave. Alternatively, you could stop feeding either one, or give the kid up for foster parents. There's options beyond death for people outside the womb. Even a one day old can be abandoned and live off formula or another person in society. A fetus in utero does not have those options. |

Quoted: This has nothing to do with Roe v Wade. Nevertheless I'll consider the argument. A landlord can't demand the renter leave right now or die. He has to allow the renter to exit alive.

You can kill intruders in the home, but that on the assumption they are dangerous. If a home intruder proves to not be dangerous you can't kill him, either. View Quote A landlord doesn't need to kill an occupant for them to leave. You can't transfer fetus ownership at this point in medical technology. |
