"Even if it Saves Just One Life"

The most exploitive and ridiculous question of the day was asked by Liberal Lucienne Robillard -- "Why does the minority government not recognize that this registry is valuable, even if it saves just one life?"...

No law will ever prevent the type of tragedy that occurred in Montreal last week. The harping on about the gun registry immediately upon the resumption of Parliament and in less than a week after the Dawson College shootings was nothing more than a disgusting use of the death of Anastasia DeSousa and the serious injuries of several others to score cheap political points.

Right on, Arthur Weinreb!

I always ask, "How many lives are you willing to sacrifice to criminals and tyrants to save that 'one life' (and who is this 'one life' that he's so important to save)?"

Why do we never hear "If arming every adult against criminals and tyranny saved just one life, surely it would be worth it."?

Which is more likely to save lives, every good person helpless or every good person capable of resisting evil intent? If it saves just one life.....
