What about hunting. Why can't i hunt my own food. Deer, kangaroo, pig, goat. You eat meat that was killed by someone. You have a log in your eye my friend

My goodness, you use a lot of shrieks and bangs (exclamation points) in your posts.
Theologically, God also ordains the means of protection. Those ordained means may (or may not) include a Christian with a gun.

His not being silly. You called such people unchristian. This is what I mean. You haven't thought about this very deeply at all

Thanks that's exactly how I interpret being unchristian and it's exactly what im protesting...
Like I said, the OP has put very little thought into that statement

The logical technique is called Reductio ad absurdum. I want you to think through the logical consequences of your position.

According to their position anyone who owns a weapon is unchristian and will therefore be cast into the lake of fire regardless

Although I respect and understand that on a personal level we have to decide what is right for us, so for you this is the conclusion you have reached. It’s the blanket approach that kind of irks me, more so when you as a citizen of a country and a member of the public have gained from others bearing arms or protecting you………..

I actually agree with that (though I can think of a couple of contradicting scriptures right off the top of my head), but the question is one of personal calling in the "now" time.
Another story: An old preacher of mine was a much younger preacher during the Vietnam war. A friend of his who was an Army recruiter invited him out for coffee.
"Preacher", said the Army recruiter, "I wish you Methodists would make up your minds!"
"What do you mean, Sam?"
"Well, half the young people in your church are marching in the streets protesting the war. And the other half are at my office enlisting! Are you for the war, or against it?"
"Sam, God calls some to be peacemakers. Others He calls to protect those who cannot protect themselves."
I'll never forget that response. A dear brother on another forum fought in that war. I found out later he died from the leukemia that resulted from exposure to the defoliants used in that war, in a place where officially we never were. He found my preacher's words comforting, as he had to endure the contempt of those who opposed the war when he returned. Kodak, I'm lighting a candle for you in my heart.

Is not our Great God not able to protect us?
Still drinking the same high octane Kool aide I see..
The Buffalo event at least was pre-planned as many others were in the US, and around parts of the globe.
See my link here for any eye-full of the Buffalo plot to again attempt to seize guns/weapons unlawfully and unconstitutionally through the same evil deceptive means, from the hands of law-abiding folks.

What an evil and vile world we live in...
You have lived a very sheltered life. Any muggings or stabbings in the East End of London lately?!!
In scripture, Christ recommended weapons for his disciple for protection on their nomadic style trips within Judea. And they bought some indeed. I'm sure they carried weapons on theirs journeys after Christ's death...
