“How many children have to die before you give up your guns?” They will never stop saying this. Why would they?

[Little Ray]

All of them.
And I want my cake back - ALL of it.

“How many children have to die before you give up your guns?”

A few years ago there was this game where some ridiculous moral dilemma was proposed and you had to describe what you would do. Like: You are trapped in a mine with another person. Not enough air for the both of you to survive before rescuers arrive. Other guy takes a sleeping pill and says you decide what to do. What do you do? In general I would propose the most brutal self serving solution I could think of without hesitation or moralization. In this case with no pondering or contemplation I would say, "I'd kill him." People really didn't like me to play the game.

So with that as a model, my answer to this stupid question is, "All of them."

The answer to that question is “a lot less than number of children that will die is a disarmed populace”.

For proof, see the 20th century and Venezuela today.

The logical retort to that would be “How many children have to die before you close down your abortion shops?”, relevant since they've now moved past mere fetuses onto full-term babies. See how that sticks in their craws.
