They generally object to being eaten alive -So you must shoot them?

Did you understand the part about God ordaining the means of our protection?Is not our Great God not able to protect us?
You have lived a very sheltered life. Any muggings or stabbings in the East End of London lately?!!
@ByGraceThroughFaith This is a British perspective.Regardless of what is in the world there is no reason to own a gun
The Great God of the Bible is VERY ABLE to protect His children
These MASS murders, and MANY more that we see on a regular basis, shows that it is both UNBIBLICAL and UNCHRISTIAN for anyone, especially if the are followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, to own any form of weapon!
The US Constitution that allows for this is VERY WRONG!
@ByGraceThroughFaith This is a British perspective.
Here in North America with its wide and wild Continental outdoors and Frontier tradition, history has developed differently.
I have a certain sympathy for the way your perspective may have developed in Britain.
Some North American Christians would also say that God uses means.
UNBIBLICAL and UNCHRISTIAN?? I think you have that backwards. The Biblical and Christian ethic would be to follow Scripture, which tells to put on the full armour of God, which includes the Sword of the Spirit.

Work or sport are other reasons why people might own a weapon
Then deal with: luke 22:36Not literally
Excellent appraisal!Wow! You are on a wrongful tear lately. Should cars be abolished due to accidents? Should cell phones be outlawed due to distracted driving? Should medications be banished because of abuse? What other freedoms do you advocate be taken away because some abuse them?
You said it is unbiblical to own any gun. Yet I noticed no actual Scripture was quoted. How about this for Christian & Biblical? Jesus telling us to sell our coat to buy a weapon is good enough for me. Too bad Jesus did not have your wisdom and sensibiliites to react emotionally to headlines, huh?
if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one!
Jesus, Luke 22:36
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
2 Corinthians 3:17
The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?
Jeremiah 17:9
Guard your heart above all else for it determines the course of your life.
Proverbs 4:23
Freedom is never wrong for it is the Spirit of the LORD.
You would do well to remember that over here across the pond, we reserve the sacred right to revolution. We have servants who rule by consent not proclamation or tyranny. The 2A is THE right that ensures all the rest.
It is important to note the private abuse of weapons pales in comparison to government abuse of weapons against it's own people. Call freedom a price I'm willing to pay.
Sure but the reason the Founding Father's put the 2A into the Constitution is not for sport or hunting. It is the final protection against a tyrannical government. History has proven them correct. The 1st thing tyrants do when the get into office is take away private gun ownership and then the horrors begin.

BTW, the Powers-That-Be have a whole industry here in the States whose purpose is to make people afraid so that they'll buy guns. Afraid of immigrants and people of other races and nationalities. Afraid of street crime. Afraid of their own government.
As Christians we should look to the Lord for our protection. Period!
The only reason this fallen world is as good as it is, is because there are good men with guns who stop bad men with guns.Your objecting to cops having guns?
Like I said, you haven't thought this through very well my friend
Wow!Never wore masks or kept 6 feet away during the global pandemic? The Bible says seek and you shall find.
I look to many things for protection. Good tires, shovel snow and put ice on walkway. I make sure my brakes are in good working order and use my seatbelt. My car automatically locks the doors when I get to 20 mph.
I have a variety of insurences and take vitamins.
There are all sorts of PPE I use. Hats, gloves, safety glasses. Steel toe shoes and knee pads. Heck, I even use sun screen and bug spray.
