Pro-Life Pro-Gun makes zero sense

[Samof94]

Why would someone call themselves "pro-life" if they think machine guns should be handed out like candy??? Yes, I also know those who call themselves "pro-life" are almost universally sexist and only seem to care about fetuses.

If you think you're right, why resort to a stupid hyperbole to prove a point.  If you have a good point, maybe you wouldn't feel the need to do that.  And follow that up with a pointless insult?  Are you looking for a discussion or just some back patting from your fellow red avs?  'cause it 100% looks like the latter, and that's gross and lame and you're better than that.

I'm pro choice and generally pro gun and the reason is not because I want everyone to die. The two issues just have nothing to do with each other. Everything is not a "double standard".

Why do people always do this when it comes to abortion? "It's hypocritical to be pro-life and support the death penalty", "It's hypocritical to be pro-life and oppose universal healthcare", "It's hypocritical to be pro-life and oppose gun control ", etc. I never really see people use other unrelated political stances to accuse them of hypocrisy.

It is more-or-less always the case that when people accuse an ideological viewpoint of hypocrisy -- as opposed to some individual sinful person -- they are merely revealing their lack of understanding of that ideological viewpoint, and very often revealing a deficit in empathy that renders them unable to think from the perspective of another person.

Get off the stage. This open mic night stinks.

Because I value the sanctity of my life and believe in protecting it. Speaking theoretically, pulling a gun on someone is a surefire way of scaring them off if I perceive them to be a serious threat to my life. If all else fails, shooting them and ending their life also works, because it removes an otherwise permanent threat to my life.

I am a firm believer in the Non-Aggression Principle, but that doesn't mean I'd roll over and play dead.

He uses the gun to defend his own life.
Now, it would make sense that he would support background checks.

Samof94 threaf. Mods please ban this dullard already and save us some brain cells.

     Answering this seriously (which I probably shouldn't), there is a very clear distinction between a fetus (who is innocent and under most circumstances not a threat to anyone's life) and a violent criminal (who can murder me or someone else if I don't take action). Usually I see the charge of hypocrisy come coupled with something like universal healthcare, which at least makes sense from a utilitarian standpoint. However, even a utilitarian should understand that these are not comparable.

I believe that most people support some form of gun control.
Democrats need to talk about the issue much much more than they do.

Gun violence is very serious and the GOP has yet to offer anything that will reduce it.

"More guns" is not a solution.

Republicans also support nuclear weapons and war. It's almost like everyone forgets this.

You honestly come across like a right wing troll meant to make Democrats look like complete simpletons, lol.

Many people think that public safety isn't as important in making sure society maintains or reasserts its "identity" and vice versa. Often they will try to explain the inconsistencies by saying that either by promoting a culture of self-sufficiency and personal responsibility (for those who are pro-gun, anti-abortion) or that by promoting an inclusive and non-violent culture (the other way around), we will be able to create a tide that raises all ships. 

[Reactionary Libertarian]

Both are pro-crime.
