“Guns don’t kill people. Abortions kill people”

“Guns don’t kill people—people kill people” has been a popular pro-gun slogan since 1959. “Guns don’t kill people. Abortions kill people” is a related bumper sticker saying that has been popular with pro-life supporters. The saying has been cited in print since at least 2000.

“Guns don’t kill people. Planned Parenthood kills people” is a related saying.

I doubt that the numbers of abortions add up to “billions” each month, but, like the gun-control advocates, if even one life can be saved, then the effort is worth it!  However, guns don’t kill people—other people, like those having abortions, kill people.  The point is to change the hearts and minds of the people doing the killing.  That change is impossible in the context of more killing.

333,964 to 31,672 and many of the gun deaths I suspect can be tied to drug dealers killing other drug dealers, or gang members killing other gang members.
 
Whereas every one of the victims of abortion were innocent.  Completely innocent.  The essence of innocence.
