Before I see that here, it did not occur to me that being anti guns and for death penalty for killers could be divided into two opposing camps. Things like these always constructed one whole to me and would feel contradicted otherwise.
Also until I paid attention to that here, the only thing that was coming to my mind as the reason for having or not having a death penalty is the possibility of killing an innocent person. The point which some make regarding the sacredness of life of someone who himself took the life of another person unjustly is to me so unacceptable mentally that it cannot sit in peace even with mere comprehension of existence.
