I support abortion because I consider a dead foetus a preferable alternative to an impoverished, neglected child that grows up to be a maladjusted junkie thug. I don't consider either option to be desirable, but I know which I prefer.
I support it based on income and assets, and oppose it based on race.
Really difficult in the context of the US. There are so many guns in circulation that any gun ban is going to empower criminals. If you're going to do this you need to seriously incentivize criminals to NOT carry guns ie: by making them a serious sentence multiplier. On top of this, I recognize that cities and rural areas are incredibly different. In a city, you can scream and your neighbours will hear you. In rural areas, a gun is your only realistic hope.
If you have to 'push' it, its probably because nobody wants it.
You assume criminals are capable of abstract thinking. Prison time doesn't scare them, much less more prison time, because they can't even think a week ahead, much less a 30-year to lifetime sentence.
Criminals, however, are scared of getting shot mid-crime, because that shit's instant and it fucking hurts immediately. Survivors that don't learn the first time will quickly Darwin themselves out of the gene pool.
Bystander syndrome is a thing, you know, to the point where first responders have to teach people to scream "YOU! CALL 911!" at a specific person instead of "HELP ME! SOMEONE! PLEASE!" People won't do shit unless it's a direct command because they'll assume someone else will help instead.
