You don't see the analogy, even if it isn't perfect? Abortion is a legal activity that a substantial number of people think is morally wrong. Owning and holding a gun in your own home is a legal activity which you apparently thing is morally wrong. Since you aren't surprised when someone holding a gun is killed I'm wondering whether you are surprised when an abortionist is killed?
