One of the 1 Aug 1966 University of Texas victims was an unborn child.
How many more Gun Violence victims have been unborn children? By the pro-life way of thinking, these "unborn children" are innocent no matter what their parents are like.
Usual question: where are the pro-lifers on this one?
Sorry, but you can't say you are pro-life and go with the gun lobby's pushing the envelope on self-defence to make it easier to kill people. Traditional common law makes self-defence (1) a mitigation, not a complete defence, (2) places the decision on whether force was necessary to the finder of fact (usually the jury), and (3) makes excessive force, even deadly force, a hard hurdle to get past.
But even more importantly if you are going to be against "killing babies", then you should be firmly against guns.
Sorry, but you can't be pro-life and pro-gun without being in serious denial.
Footnote: the University of Texas shooting pretty much put the pro-gun arguments to rest: especially armed civilians stopping the incident. According to people who were there, there were armed civilians, but they made the situation much worse.
