Let Me Ask the Question, Gun Owners and Advocates--Why?

Not wealthy should you be allowed to own guns--you should, the 2nd Amendment gives you that right--but why this is treated so often as the line in the sand...why, in short, do you seem value guns so highly as to seem to approach the point of fanatical worship (at least that's how it appears to some of us on the outside.) There is one answer I'm not buying (and I'll give it below) but aside from that...I have to know--why do value your guns seemingly first and foremost?

Diplomacy causes violence

It has just been reported that several recent stabbings in ******** were inspired by an online game called 'Diplomacy', which encourages players to 'stab' others as a major part of gameplay.
The perpetrators have denied any knowledge of the game, but mentioned the name 'Timur'. He has been tracked down to the Far East and is currently being hunted. (As usual. Never been caught yet :~)

Catholic Church is pro-choice when it suits them

http://www.cnn.com/2013/01/26/us/colorado-fetus-lawsuit/index.html
So this catholic hospital due to malpractice saw twin boys get killed. The Father tried to sue and lost on the grounds that the fetuses were not considered life. Apparently the catholic church is pro-life only when it suits them.

1) This is not about the official Catholic church position, rather the legal defense of a particular hospital which is nominally Catholic.

2) The defense entered by the attorneys is not some sort of moral or theological claim, but a simple matter of fact claim that, under the state law of Colorado, human beings do not have legal rights until they are born. I'm sure that if the state of Colorado were to change its laws to provide protection to unborn children so that they could not be unjustly killed while in the womb, the Catholic Church would be just giddy.

Hypocrisy in the Catholic Church?

Em, i think they are claiming to have done nothing wrong, under the law.

They appear to be right, how and ever, if they did everything in their power to save the mother and twins, then they are also morally correct - regardless of the legal loop-hope they have used.

Just remember kids. AIDS is bad. Very bad. But not so bad as condoms.

Expecting moral clarity from an organization responsible for cheerfully lighting people on fire for heresy is like expecting Somalia to all of a sudden to not be a fourth world shithole. Its not impossible, but a smart person wouldn't lay a penny on the proposition.

Hey Jack trolling the believers again eh, I hope you get a bite ;-).

I was just curious, however, what if anything you believe in and why.
