A comparison of constitutional risks...

2nd Amendment:  Approximately 32,000 Americans are killed with firearms per year.  That includes murders, accidents, and suicides (suicides are almost 20,000).

Roe v. Wade:  Approximately 1,200,000 abortions are performed each year in the United States.

Now despite looking, I never did find a right to an abortion in the U.S. Constitution (although I did find something saying that life would not be deprived without due process).  But beyond the justification, the numbers do not lie.  So when someone tries to give you shade about firearms, perhaps you should ask if they are pro life or pro choice?
