How can the same people who are pro-life also be pro-gun?

If life begins at inception and needs protection, what can’t we protect children in schools from gun violence? (AP)

I truly appreciated Victoria Richards’ recent article and completely agree. I have another question/observation; the same pro-gun people are also pro-life. So from what I understand, they believe on the one hand that life begins at inception and needs protection. However, on the other hand, it isn’t necessary to protect children from automatic weapons in their schools, and should they get killed as a result of someone legally acquiring guns, then that is completely acceptable.

Am I confused?
