Considering you oppose the death penalty, how do you propose stopping this murderer from killing again?
It's the middle of the night, an intruder kicks down the door of your house. You call 911, the police will be at your home in 5 minutes, the intruder will be in your bedroom in 10 seconds. Considering you oppose gun ownership, how are you going to stop this intruder from killing your family?
What if your mother exercised her choice to have an abortion?
Since you believe that people who oppose a powerful federal government and seek more independence from government are dangerous extremists, can I assume you would have been a "Loyalist" during the Revolutionary War? (For those of you who attended public school, a "Loyalist" supported the King of England and opposed the creation of an independent nation by colonists)
There are 700,000 doctors in the U.S. and 120,000 fatal medical mistakes each year, compared to 80,000,000 gun owners in the U.S. and 1500 fatal gun accidents per year. Since doctors are 9000 times more likely to accidently kill you than a firearm in your home, should doctors be outlawed?
Just some simple questions, I've got an OPEN mind, I'd like to know what you all think.

A. The reason this is hypothetical is because this would not happen in real life - do you really think a prsioner could start killing the employees of a prison and then be left kill another and then another and then another.
B. Not all Liberals oppose gun ownership, but lets assume that is the case - are you saying that no gun toting conservative has ever been killed in an armed holdup when he has a gun in his drawer right next to his bed? I guess you must because you cannot argue one way and then assume the opposite not to be true.
C. Once again abortion is not only a Liberal issue - and this is just too silly to even argue.
D. Its difficult to judge the actions of thers when you were not there - but it's an issue that is American - you can decide that one for yourself.
E. Doctors are put into a position of making life and death decisions on a day to day basis. You are comparing two different things - apples and oranges. Cops and the military also kill more than the average gun owner - should they also be banned?
