Reply #1: False dilemmas ....

[Trajan]

Fetuses are NOT human beings until they are born, any more than sperm or eggs are human beings, but the question of capital punishment involves LIVE human beings: .. the issue is one of the STATE killing human beings out of vengeance, making the state itself a killer of human beings .... False analogy ... fallacy of relevence ...

Drugs harm the user who makes the choice to use: .... guns harm others who do NOT make the choice to be shot and killed ....

AGAIN: .. false analogy ... fallacy of relevence ...

IF you could make a gun that ONLY shot the gun owner: .. then gun and drug danger would be identical ...
