Concerning guns and weapons, and violence against mankind...

----------

Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.

Matthew 26:52

----------

Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

----------

Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Jeremiah 39:18

----------

There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

OBEY The Lord Jesus Christ and STOP SINNING, or go to the Lake of Fire...

Born again Christians DO NOT SIN!

----------

Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

1 John 3:6

----------

We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

1 John 5:18

----------

Do not let someone deceive you into doing violence against another human being by quoting the following scripture:

----------

Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.

Luke 22:36-38

----------

The above instruction (Luke 22:36) was to the apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ that were in His immediate vicinity at that exact moment - it was NOT a general commandment to the body of Christ.

----------

Here are John the Baptist's instructions to SOLDIERS - look what he says -- please keep in mind that these are instructions TO THE MILITARY.

"...Do violence to no man..."

----------

And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.

Luke 3:14

----------

John 2:13-17
13 When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. 15 So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. 16 To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!” 17 His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.”

Luke 22:36-38
36 And He said to them, “But now, whoever has a money belt is to take it along, likewise also a bag, and whoever has no sword is to sell his cloak and buy one. 37 For I tell you that this which is written must be fulfilled in Me: ‘And He was counted with wrongdoers’; for that which refers to Me has its fulfillment.” 38 They said, “Lord, look, here are two swords.” And He said to them, “It is enough.”
