a euphemism for the right to life. I was using hyperbole for effect. You do agree that there is a right to life, don't you?

One of the undying issues of human civilization is resolving the conflicts that arise when one person's right conflicts with another. Sometimes not everyone gets to have unlimited exercise of what they think are their rights, when they interfere with the rights on another.

These conversations are interesting. I'm probably in the most conservative 10% of Americans on 2nd Amendment issues, yet your unbending absolutism makes you think I'm a liberal. Which I'm most definitely not. I last voted for a Democrat in 1972, at which time I was a 19 year old liberal.

And BTW, I don't believe that anyone, anywhere, has a "right to not be offended". And to suggest that the right not to be slaughtered, i.e., murdered, equates to the so-called right to not be offended, is pretty silly.

Please explain why this message is being reported.
