Gun Lobby Money.
Seriously, I think it is a serious case of wanting to have ones cake and eat it, too. It's why I have always respected the Catholic Church's view on pro-lifeness, no abortion, no death penalty. I don't always agree with how it works, but at least they strive to be consistent. It'd be nice if they went no guns, as well, but then they'd probably be facing an all knew Protestant movement from their North American Conservatives.
Eschew Verbosity
I don't understand many things about Conservatives but one thing baffles me more than most.

I think you're confusing "pro life" with "anti killing."

It sounds like you have a very specific view of what each position constitutes.

Just going by party platforms, candidate/officeholder statements and proposed/enacted law.

Conversely, how can liberals be pro-abortion but anti-death penalty?

In my case, because of the areas certainty exists and those where it is impossible.

Abortion is "not germane" to asking how one can reconcile opposing abortion while supporting guns?

Not in detail, just in both citing "good cause," yet interpreting it VERY differently.

My biggest problem with that from a religious perspective is preempting the chance to repent.
