So you believe that promoting child pornography (real or virtual matters only to the subject of a photo, not to those who feel its ripple effects) despite the fact that it will without a doubt increase the sexual abuse of children?

Generally, the more guns there are, the more people get shot and killed. Does that mean guns should be outlawed?

This is a specious argument. Guns have positive social purposes, and the right to own firearms is specifically articulated in the Constitution. There is no such right to kiddy porn, and no redeeming social value from allowing the depiction of child sexual abuse.

False--A lot more lives are saved because of the increase of gun ownership. Lott proved those statistics in his book "More Guns, Less Crime".
