Correct. Enabling a sin, makes you a part of it's commission, to the Church, and the same logic is used in law. Enabling a crime, makes you a part of it's commission, usually as an accessory.

Oh, I SO believe the Church lawyers will RIP the feds lawyers to shreds on this case.

So you would support prosecuting gun dealers who sell guns to people who later use them to commit a crime?

Only if a gun dealer knew the gun he sold, was illegal, or was told the gun was intended for the commission of a crime.

Say he sold the gun to a known felon, and didn't put in the paperwork and get the approval needed. That would be a crime.

Or say the buyer came in after the waiting period was over and all the paperwork was done, and told the seller that the gun would be "great", since he "wanted to kill his ex spouse with it".

There, it's a bit more gray, but if the gun hasn't changed hands yet, I'd say he better refund the buyer his money, keep the gun, and notify the police. Certainly, he should NOT sell him anything else, like bullets! There's no better way to protect yourself from future charges in the matter.

Oh yeah? What's your opinion on Romney's stance then? It appears that he does not agree with you from a religious perspective, he only wants to make abortion illegal from a secular perspective.
