Snowflakes who are against guns, and have none, are the most vulnerable for bad people kicking in their door in the middle of the night. After the criminals have their way with their family, they have the audacity to whimper "There was nothing I could do, officer".
See now, God instructed people to pawn thier cloak so they could buy a sword or two becasue that will be important. More important than owning a cloak!
But I think that many preppers take it too far and over prepare. Making their guns into idols, and this is a mistake. Jesus said, it is enough when the discipes said, Lord we have two swords. The Lord even told His people to wear a sword as they worked rebuilding the wall around Jerusalem. But He didnt tell them to have 35 or 30 of them, two is enough for a small party...
Why did He say that? Because one with 30 firearms and 14,000 rounds of ammo will have hreater confidence in his (idolized) weapons than he does for the Lord.
A couple times I have had people say to me, if you have so much faith then why own guns at all? And this is humerous to me because these people dont know much about guns and ballistics, lol! You can easily carry a gun and have plenty of room left over for faith! (Especially you guys with 9mm's! LOL!) Handgun cartridges are woufeully underpowered and you will be lucky to stop the attacker. Like I said, lots of room for faith is still there!
But dont have too much confidence in pistols. A pistol is fine for getting you into and out of the grocery store to your vehicle, and back into your house at home. Just for the transitional spaces. The only reason someone fights with a pistol, is to fight their way back to the Rifle that they shouldnt have laid down in the first place.
When a gunshot victim goes into the hospital, if they have been shot with a handgun they sedate him and stabilize him...If he comes in shot by a Rifle, then they're generally trying to save the mans life. So Have a Rifle or two.
It's ok. Keep your faith and confidence in God first and you will be ok. I also do not tempt God by playing on the freeway either. Just common sense!
Even David stepped out onto the field of battle with God first...!!!...But He did have a Sling and 5 Stones!
