"No, that's not the premise of this point. Guns and Abortions are NOT the same thing and [font size=4]I'm sure there are a billion of DUers just chomping at the bit as they read this to tell everyone how wrong such a premise is.[/font]

That, again, is not the premise.

The premise is this: Both the need for guns and abortion arises from insecurity of some kind. Whether that is financial, mental, or any other cause for trepidation, that is the bottom line. A person seeks one or the other because there is something about their circumstances that requires it... rational or not."

That, and the post you responded to went straight over your head.

If you can't grasp the points of the conversation you're having, please.... just stop having it.
