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.

There is a difference between doctors fatal mistakes and gun accidents. Please consider the fact that doctors are in an occupation that deal with the sick people. It's a difficult job, treating people for illnesses is no easy task. In which case you may find more mistakes being made. To try and draw an analogy between the two is inappropriate at best.
To answer your quesion about Loyalists, Liberals would probably be least likely to be Loyalists. Why? Because unlike you, they didn't want to be part of a government that had absolute control over their lives (like the one in England), which is why the newcomers settled here and set up a new restricted government.
Somebody else already pointed out the shortcomings of your abortion question.
