108. Well...you can say its not a point...
that doesn't mean it isn't one.

Bans generally aren't well recieved by those they effect. That rings true in both cases.

A woman's body is a woman's body, your gun is some fucking inanimate object that has no purpose but to make noise and put holes in things. Big difference and you really are grasping when you try that strawman.


You seem to misunderstand. A gun isn't in question. Ones right to keep and bear a gun IS. The RIGHT, or more specifically capricious arbitrary regulations placed on that RIGHT (bans), are no different than capricious arbitrary regulations placed on a womans right to choose(bans). And they will be seen as such in both cases by the people effected by those capricious and arbitrary regulations. Seen as bans. You can't be a gun banner and say your not a gun banner. Well, you can say it I guess, but noone is going to buy it.

Theres quite a difference between drawing a parallel and making a strawman argument. Perhaps you see can see that now?
