It is such a shame that whenever an atrocity such as a “mass” shooting occurs there is outrage and calls for action. The recent shootings are indicative of acts committed by persons who are evil. Yet, there are calls to continue to regulate firearms ownership or as some would call for, the outright ban on firearms. Furthermore, the call for “red flag” laws which deny due process, property rights and firearm rights. However, there are constitutional rights addressing each of those. Where is the outrage and call for action for the approximately 600,000 children who are killed each year in the United States under the auspices of a mother’s right to affordable healthcare? And yes, there is a constitutional right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Alas, these children’s lives are snuffed out without so much as a portion of the due process given to a mass murderer. If the same outrage and momentum was applied to the atrocity of abortion, approximately 600,000 lives could possibly be saved per year in the United States. Based upon recent letters to the editor it appears the same people who would advocate for the lawful, premeditated termination of life are the same people who would call for the banning of firearms. In this case, I believe these people support denying people their rights on many different fronts. Is this what socialism promises? Is this what we have to look forward to? I would say you can’t legislate evil people to prevent evil acts from occurring. Evil will always do evil. Law-abiding citizens could potentially suffer the consequences of evil doers. However, in the case of abortion it appears our lawmakers and unelected judges to the Supreme Court have condoned the horrific act of murder under the cloak of calling it a woman’s right to healthcare. What about that child in the womb who has a right to life? The child who will never enjoy the rights enshrined in our Constitution? In closing, our lawmakers should read the U.S. and Wyoming constitutions before you allow emotion to be your guide. For our judges put less credence in case law and let the Constitution be the definitive guide to your decisions. Many men and women have died while honoring their oath to uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution. You at least owe them the courtesy of reading those documents and you should honor your oath.

Surprising to see that you finally admit those facts. Maybe there's hope for you yet. Where is the outrage and call for action for the approximately 600,000 children who are killed each year in the United States under the auspices of a mother’s right to affordable healthcare? I for one am outraged - hundreds of millions of others are as well. The real problem is - Republicans don't want to end abortion, the pay it lip service at best. They could have easily outlawed abortion at any time. Unfortunately it's one of those "hot-button" issues that they use to keep the rubes on the plantation. "Vote for us if you are against abortion - we will stop it! We promise!!" Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. Ah, when will your confusion and stupidity ever end? It is sometime truly amazing to see how your deranged mind tries to process information. How long did it take you to become so stupid and how hard did you have to work at it? Never mind trying to find a copy and paste article to answer – it was, after all, a rhetorical question. Salute,
Furthermore, the call for “red flag” laws which deny due process, property rights and firearm rights.
The essential feature of government is the enforcement of its decrees by beating, killing, and imprisoning.
Those who are asking for more government interference are asking ultimately for more compulsion and less freedom.

By “you” – you are of course addressing Vincent Vanata, the author of the article – for it was he who made the statement and not I.
