They should make a law against murder to address this.

“Lizzie Andrew Borden was born on July 19, 1860. Her mother died when Lizzie was a young girl and her father, who became a bank president and successful businessman, married Abby Gray, who helped raise Lizzie and her older sister Emma. The sisters reportedly despised their stepmother and, as adults, argued with their father over money matters.”

“The fact that no blood was found on Lizzie coupled with her well-bred Christian persona convinced the all-male jury that she was incapable of the gruesome crime and they quickly acquitted her.

“Lizzie, who inherited a substantial sum after her father’s death, moved from the murder site into a different home, where she lived until her death on June 1, 1927. Today, the house where the Borden murders occurred is a bed and breakfast. Despite Lizzie Borden’s acquittal, the cloud of suspicion that hung over her never disappeared. She is immortalized in a famous rhyme:

‘Lizzie Borden took an axe, And gave her mother forty whacks; When she saw what she had done, She gave her father forty-one.’”

“ANYONE to own a gun?”

unless after due process, it was proved they were not fit to be trusted with one.

Then lock them up , away from society

“The Wisconsin Plan”

“Under a Child Support Assurance System, all parents living
apart from their children are obligated to share their income with their children. The sharing rate is specified in administrative code and, exceptional cases aside, depends only upon the number of children owed support. In Wisconsin this rate is equal to 17 percent of the noncustodial parent’s gross income for one child, and 25, 29, 31, and 34 percent respectively for two, three, four, and five or more children. The obligation is collected through payroll withholding in cases where that is possible, as are social security and income taxes. In other words, child support is akin to a proportional tax on noncustodial parents.”

https://www.irp.wisc.edu/publications/focus/pdfs/foc111d.pdf

“Children with a legally liable noncustodial parent are entitled to benefits equal to either the child support paid by the noncustodial parent or a socially assured minimum benefit, whichever is higher. Should the noncustodial parent pay less than the assured benefit, the difference is paid by the state.”

Lefties always look as citizen’s owning weapons as an offensive threat against, (insert the popular choice of the day). They cannot fathom any other use.

The right to life does not trump the right to liberty.

So, what about the life of a woman who gets attacked and can’t fend off her assailant(s) because she doesn’t have that great equalizer?

Stupid question. Anyone has a right to self defense. Ownership of firearms is universal unless surrendered by abuse of that right (assault, murder, et al).

You tried to deflect by using the words self defense
Which was a stupid attempt

Pay attention...

- Everyone has a right to free speech yet prisoners are routinely silenced.
- Everyone has a right to self-defense yet prisoners usually lose the right to bear arms.
- Everyone has a right to free association yet prisoners don’t get to choose their cellmates.

Everyone has the right to bear arms unless they have surrendered that right by putting themselves under the authority of the State through criminal activity. The State may not take our rights but we can surrender them.

Clearer now?

...the right to life trumps the right to own a gun...

The same people who would disarm you also insist upon unlimited abortion "rights". They want no right to life except for criminals who need killing.

So you would allow ANYONE to own a gun?

The second amendment applies to everyone, so yes. Those who misuse their guns should receive appropriate punishment.

“Lizzie Borden took an axe, And gave her mother forty whacks; When she saw what she had done, She gave her father forty-one.”

Yesterday in old Fall River
Mr. Andrew Borden died
And he got his daughter, Lizzie
On a charge of homicide

Some folks say she didn’t do it
And others say of course she did
But they all agree, Miss Lizzie B
Was a problem kinda kid

‘Cause you can’t chop your
Papa up in Massachusetts
Not even if it’s planned
As a surprise (a surprise)
No, you can’t chop your
Papa up in Massachusetts
You know how neighbors love to criticize

Well, she got him on the sofa
Where he’d gone to take a snooze
And I hope he went to Heaven
‘Cause he wasn’t wearing shoes

Lizzie kinda rearranged him
With a hatchet so they say
Then she got her mother
In that same old fashioned way

But you can’t chop your
Mama up in Massachusetts
Not even if you’re tired of
Her cuisine (her cuisine)
No can’t chop your mama up in Massachusetts
You know it’s almost sure to cause a scene

Well, they really kept her
Hopping on that busy afternoon
With both down and upstairs chopping
While she hummed a ragtime tune

They really made her hustle
And when all was said and done
She’d removed her mother’s bustle
When she wasn’t wearing one

Now can’t chop your
Mama up in Massachusetts
And then blame all the damage
On the mice (on the mice)
No, you can’t chop your
Mama up in Massachusetts
That sort of thing just isn’t very nice

Now it wasn’t done for pleasure
And it wasn’t done for spite
And it wasn’t done because
The lady wasn’t very bright

She’d always done the slightest thing
That mom and papa bid
They said, Lizzie, cut it out
So that’s exactly what she did

But you can’t chop your
Papa up in Massachusetts
And then get dressed
And go out for a walk
No, you can’t chop your
Papa up in Massachusetts
Massachusetts is a far cry
From New York

You can’t chop your
Papa up in Massachusetts
Shut the door and lock and latch it
Here comes Lizzie with a brand new hatchet

You can’t chop your
Papa up in Massachusetts
Such a snob I’ve heard it said
She met her pa and cut him dead

You can’t chop your
Papa up in Massachusetts
Jump like a fish
Jump like a porpoise
All join hands and habeas corpus

You can’t chop your
Papa up in Massachusetts
Massachusetts is a far cry
From New York
