Its a question to see what the mentality and morality of gun owners is. I think your scard to answer the question or to see how gun owners will act.
Then why just kids? Is every other person expendable? Me thinks your agenda is showing.

I love how when a neocon can not answer the question they dance and squirm to change the question. Its a simple question. I am not saying it will, will not could or could not work. I am saying if you had a time machine, what ever you want to call it and you knew for a fact that a gun ban on semi auto guns would save a life would you give up your guns?

You just can't answer the question. Its also not a loaded question, thats when did you quit beating your wife. If you answer yes or no you admit that you beat your wife. Learn what your talking about.

Its a simple ethical question. If it would save one kids life would you give up your semi auto rifles?

So would you give up your semi autos if it saved one kids life?
Hey,guess what?
There's a Psychology or a Philosophy forum right here on C-D. Take your pick if that's the real intent behind your question.

As I told the other idiot, fair ethical question but this is my post and you are free to ask it in your post. But it still stands you just can't answer can you? LOL every dodge makes my point. You just can't do it. I have never seen so much squirming. LMAO

Would you give up semi autos if it saved one kids life?

There is a question before you you will not answer so you say post it over there, or would you buy a gun to save a life. You are sweating like a ***** in church, can't answer a simple question can you.

Would you give up your semi auto guns if you knew that it would save just one kids life?

You just can't answer because you know you would not do the moral thing. How about all you gun people who are bible thumpers, WWJD if he knew that an assault weapon ban would save one child, would Jesus give them up?
Nobody is dodging anything because that is the truth, a ban on semi-autos will not make a difference.

I'm not sure why you brought Jesus into this, they didn't have semi-auto weapons 2000 years ago when Jesus walked the earth, yet they still had murderers back then. Also, read what the Bible, the New Living Translation, says in Luke 22:36 when Jesus was telling his disciples to preach the word and take up a weapon to protect themselves.
"But now", he said, "Take your money and a traveler's bag. And if you don't have a sword, sell your clothes and buy one. ".

It's because the question is silly. It's presuppostion is silly and it's phrasing is silly. I answered the question with an equally silly one. That is all it deserves. Would I give up my cell phone if it saved one child from brain cancer? Would I give up my car if it saved one child? Would I give up my kitchen knife it it saved one child? We can play this all day. And by the way, I'm not a neo-con. Very Libertarian, thank you.

The question doesn't make any logical sense (not surprisingly)...

How would a child or 1M children be saved if I gave up a rifle? The only logical conclusion is someone is demanding my rifle while holding a child or children hostage, in which case to give up my rifle would be stupid, because the only tool I would have to disarm the situation is my rifle, if I give it up, then, not only am I relying on the good will of the hostage taker to not kill the child(ren) and myself, but also for him not to use it.

If I have a rifle it's safe, I know what it's being used for, so I'm not going to go shoot anyone at random, if I give it up, then whoever I gave it to may use it to go kill kids.

So no matter the way the question is currently posed, I would not give up my rifle, which is not an option.

Sorry, but this fake rage gets pretty ignorant at times....just look at all the threads here on C-D....
Were they mass shootings in what should be safe places? My brutally honest take is that inner city violence is a huge, hot mess of a complicated problem that combines poverty, crime, drugs etc. in a big ball that's hard to unravel--where do you start? It's not fair, and it's ugly that we tend to ignore inner city violence if it doesn't impact us, but it's become such a daily thing that most people don't pay attention. When violence spreads out of those areas into communities or areas where people believe they should be safe, when it's not crime or drug related, and when you're dealing with large number of victims selected randomly, the country as a whole starts to pay attention. There's nothing fake about that, but it makes a nice attempt at a talking point on your part.
