It seems (simple observation) that the majority of people that are against the Death Penalty are also Anti-Gun.
Logically, wouldn't we want to rid society of those committing major crimes, rather than blame the items used?
Are the guns to blame, thus the need to dispose of them, while giving leave to the criminals because of the effect weapon have on them?
It makes sense to me that people who would carry a lethal weapon for self defence would also support the death penalty. What doesn't make sense is believing that we all require forgiveness and salvation while at the same time supporting the death penalty. How much cognitive dissonance lubricant do you need to be a pro death penalty Christian?
