And I think there should be (brief) waiting periods and background checks.

Why wouldn't you want people to learn to operate firearms safely. Perhaps a more symmetrical question would be whether minors should be allowed free and open access to firearms. Or whether they should be restricted in some way. 3. You miss your own point completely in the final sentences. I would like my children to learn to handle firearms safely and to learn the appropriate and inappropriate times to use them. I would like my children to learn to manage their sexuality in physically and psychologically safe, morally responsible and physically safe ways too. 4. I do not believe that we should have sex or firearms in the streets.

For the same reason you do, but I still support a woman's right to choose. Haven't we discussed this before?
Sometimes,though, the right choice for an individual might well be the unpalatable one. Issues such as abortion should be between a woman and her physician and not dictated by others based on their religious views. |

Or do you mean how it differs from your opinions...that part I do realize. I agree that abortion and guns are entirely two different topics and I did not bring it up. However I feel the abortion issue is a travesty thrust upon us just for the sake of convenience. As you know about 90% of abortions are performed for convenience and not because of rape or safety of the would be mother. GOING OFF TOPIC. Yea so without that sex education the kids would be completely lost. You are kidding right? You are correct there is no either or choice. That is to bad they do not offer a safety course for firearms for kids in high school. If they did don't, you think there would be less accidental shootings by teens? Maybe not because with sex education there sure are not less children being aborted, only mentioning abortion because you brought it up. By the way nice dodge to the question about how to handle a firearm or have sex by kids. As you mentioned that the question is not either or. Let me rephrase. Would you not have your children take a safety firearms course if it was offered? With all of the firearms in the U.S. they are surely going to be exposed to them according to many here. So would it not be a good idea to have them know safe firearms handling whether or not they purchase a firearm? Honestly I believe if they learn and handle firearms most will become interested in them as a form of recreation. That is not a bad thing. With a good firearms course they would realize that firearms are not to be feared but rather handled correctly and that because a weapon is black does not make it the devil's tool. If a firearms safety course was offered in High School how do you think those who oppose firearms would respond? they should be thrilled. But you can bet that they would complain about it. Because they are not interested in safety they are only interested in banning firearms.

Women's right to choose to have a baby killed. Lets st least be clear shout what she is choosing. It is not birth control it is abortion.
Just because some liberal law professor says It is not clear means nothing. Also had anyone here said there should be unrestricted access to firearms?

I think a woman should have the right to choose. Birth control and safe sex is the first line of prevention against unwanted pregenancy. Not only that, but kids cost ALOT of money and if you are going to have a child, you better have the means to provide for that child and to provide stability for that child. If you don't have the means to have a child and you have a child, I think it's rather selfish. You are not doing any favors for that child by bringing that child into this world and providing an unstable foundation for that child to grow up on. So, I think having a child a very serious commitment of time, love, money and emotional energy and if you don't have enough of all those elements, you have no business bringing a child in this world. So, I think it's important for a woman to have the right to choose.

Your two posts (see below) appear contradictory to me. On the one hand, you seem now to admit some restrictions on access to firearms are okay (in which case someone has to decide them). On the other hand, earlier you seemed to be saying that there is nothing to discuss.

One of the reasons why I don't have any children myself is because I simply cannot afford to have any children of my own and I understand money is not everything, but it is important. Plus, my wife and I are getting older and we already have a step son who already works and lives on his own. But we would do our best to help him out if he needed help.

Again to choose to kill a baby. No euphemism. Call it what it is.
Lots of ways not to be pregnant. Lots of forms of birth control. Abortion is not birth control. It polls better when you ask do you support a woman's right to choose than asking do you support a woman's right to kill her baby.

I know what you asked. Reread your own earlier post. You asked "had anyone here said there should be unrestricted access to firearms". As I pointed out, it seems to me that you yourself already said as much implicitly in one of your earlier posts.
If you are now saying that there SHOULD be restrictions, then it seems you are going against what you said before about the 2nd amendment (about it being clear with nothing (like limitations or restrictions on it) to discuss etc.). Now where you get the idea that "guys from other countries cry about" Americans having a second amendment I do not know, but I find that funny. The truth I think is quite the opposite (really more a case of those guys rolling their eyes or maybe chuckling or sighing than it is of crying).

For the most part to day if a woman gets PG she is a moron. It can happen but not at the rate of abortions we have here in the U.S. It is just done with wreckless abandon.

You really seem to have an obsession about women and their sex lives. How about letting women decide health issues with their own doctors instead of old male politicians deciding for them?

Have abortion Whee party time. Smile It's not all about having fun and sleeping around. I think having a commitment to a woman is important. Commitment is very important. Not only that, but, as you know full well, sleeping around and being un-committed does have consquences such as STDs for example. So there is a price to pay for not keeping your commitments. Not just in catching STDs, but also in your own happiness plus facing divorce and a financial hit from the divorce. Committed relationships are happier and more fulfilling in many cases (so long as those relationships are healthy relationships and not abusive relationships) but committed relationships also require work just like anything worth having requires. That being said, people are going to have sex too, even if they are committed. But in my view, a woman has the right to choose and if she decides to have a child, then the father needs to step up and help to provide for the child as well as be there for the child.

I really think "obsession" is to strong a word but I guess you are trying to make a point at the risk of over reacting. I am glad women have all sorts of sex lives. It livens things up. But they should use their brain cells that you and others here keep referring too and not get PG and maybe practice a little more morality. It seems that you feel that a woman can do as she pleases and become PG and have an abortion but someone cannot have certain firearms because...heck I don't even know your because. All this has nothing to do with controlling what a woman does with her body...well not totally true because when she gets PG she kills a baby that is in her body. Which brings us back to the crutch of the issue. Don't get PG in the first place. I have absolutely nothing against what ever kind of sex women have. What ever pleases them is fine with me. It is the getting PG that I have an issue with and they way they solve it. If they are not smart enough to not get PG they are not old enough to have sex or just plain stupid. As I said it can happen accidently but not at the current rate of abortions here in the U.S. It can not be that many accidents, just an attitude of who gives a darn. Just have an abortion and start over again. If they don't want children there is definitely measures that can be taken. However when it comes to teens having sex. I really believe that there should be more attention paid to have them abstain rather than offer them day after pills and condoms which conveys the message of condoning what they are doing. You cannot say on one hand here are the reasons to abstain. Oh and here are some condoms and birth control pills. Talk about a mixed message. Have our morals declined that much that it is so difficult to teach restraint? Do you feel that it impedes their creativity and they will not be a complete person if they cannot have sex as a teen. Big problem here in the U.S. One word. RESPONSIBITY. One must learn to be responsible for their actions. Of course what do you expect from a society that says stay home and live with your parents and stay under their health care program until you are 27 years old. What the heck? Don't worry about finding a job. Something will drop out of the sky for you. This is the same person who as a teen was given condoms and day after pills to solve their problems. What about responsibility? Who knows you might even win the lottery.  Or they might start paying you to play Xbox. Wow talk about going on a rant.

Stop. Take a breath. Consider the difference between "the moral standards I have for myself" and "the laws that should bind every single citizen, regardless of their personal beliefs".
Breathe deeply. Think about why the questions are separate. Think about what your country would be like if they weren't.
