A Cape May spout who is pro-life and against the death penalty has a hard time justifying a pro-life opinion with a "pro-gun" opinion. It really is not a paradox at all. Lots of pro-lifers support gun ownership, not because they want to take lives, but because they want to be armed in order to protect their own lives. When seconds count, the police are only minutes away. Not everybody should have a gun, particularly not nuts and criminals.
