Bigger problem: gun control or abortion?

What happened in Connecticut was horrific. The shameless pandering of what happened by gun control advocates to push their political agenda is worse.

If they were truly concerned with the slaughter of innocents, they would stop something that ends the lives of more than 3,000 each and every day in the United States.

Our modern politicians have legalized abortion, which in the U.S. stops more beating hearts in a year than firearm violence has in the last half century.

What do you think our founding fathers would think is the greater problem?
