The Insanity of the "right" to have guns!

[Wrangler]

The OP is about weapons capable of murder

True but then you expanded your condemnation to all sources of protection except one.

As Christians we should look to the Lord for our protection. Period!

That's why I mentioned bug spray, sun tan lotion, insurance, car safety and PPE.

 

[Michiah-Imla]

This world is way too dangerous to not defend yourself.

“But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also. Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.” (Luke 6:27-31)

 

[Pearl]

I'm Australian and I think we have similar gun laws and that's debatable.
My objection in the op was with branding everyone with a weapon as unchristian.

Yes I agree that is just wrong.

Sorry buddy but I will defend my family.

Sorry buddy but I will defend my family.

Because the Lord is not able to?

Well sure he is. But I love guns and see no reason to sell them to make you feel better. I am a responsible gun owner, unless you try to kill me you will be fine. I hunt, I use guns to hunt. I also have guns to defend my family. It is not a bad thing. Jesus told his decibels to sell their coat to buy a sword to defend themselves. To disarm yourself because of other peoples behavior is ridiculous.

some facts

How gun control works in America, compared with 4 other rich countries

The UK has Gun homicide rate for England and Wales (2012): 0.7 per 1 million people

The USA, 29.7

So just HOW does owning a gun really help???

Hence the USA is the HIGHEST in the Western world for gun crimes!

 

[Wrangler]

To ... prohibit ownership ... because of other peoples behavior is ridiculous.

Men and women should be made infertile because some rape is ridiculous.

Medicine should be outlawed because some get addicted is ridiculous.

Cars should be banned because some accidents ocurr is ridiculous.

Cars should be banned because some hit and run is ridiculous.

We ought to prohibit cell phones because some drive distracted is ridiculous.

Totalitarian thinking on display.

Never heard you should not bring a knife to a gun fight? From the BBC.

Guns save lives every day.

the greater majority in very LIBERAL London, which is run by a compete IDIOT, who now wants to make class A drugs legal!

God bless the USA!

An AR-15 does not inhibit driving but does help a teen protect the family.

Well you don't have to live here. look I live way out in the woods. I had to pull a shotgun on a bunch of tweekers that came to rob us in the middle of the night. They were all method out. It would have ended badly if I was not armed. Sorry but when you live in a country with millions of guns, you have to arm yourself and learn how to use it. Or jus stay in the UK. This is the problem I have with people. Their prying hands on my rights. Just leave me alone.

Freedom. A novel concept.
