Yet nothing in Scriptures about that or guns.
A couple of points:
Scripturally;
* weapons for offense & defense were: stones, swords, bows, arrows, spears, armor, shields
* men were armed for home defense.
* men were armed for nation defense.
* men governing homes were tyrants.
* men governing homes were righteous.
* men governing nations were tyrants.
* men governing nations were righteous.
* thieves / armies attacked unaware.
* thieves /armies continue to attack unaware.
Scripturally taught IS to BE:
Informed,Aware,Cautious,Prepared,Defend.
The US govt. was established with the same (and other) Biblical principles.
The US govt. has run amuck. (Oversteps its boundaries on a regular basis. Called tyrannical and an all incompassing word; Corrupt.)
* Peoples TRUST the US govt will DO what is RIGHT, has become MOOT.
* Peoples RIGHT to maintain and exercise authority of being:
Informed,Aware,Cautious,Prepared, Defend
Their Home, Property, Lives, Household...
Continues....WITH SOME....and
WITH OTHERS...they have already cowered down and become submissive to tyrants.
If you are looking for Scriptural basis;
Perhaps a few mentioned here will give you a clue.
1 Cor 12:
[
2] They were
armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the left in hurling stones and shooting arrows out of a bow, even of Saul's brethren of Benjamin.
[
23] And these are the numbers of the bands that were ready
armed to the war, and came to David to Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of the LORD.
[
24] The children of Judah that bare shield and spear were six thousand and eight hundred,
ready armed to the war.
Neh 4:
[
22] Likewise at the same time said I unto the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that
in the night they may be
a guard to us, and labour on the day.
Job 24:
[
14] The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and
in the night is as a thief.
Ex 22:
[
2] If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him.
Luke 11:
[
21] When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:
2 Sam 22:
[
35] He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
Luke 22:
[
36] 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.
Neh 4:
[
14] And I looked, and rose up, and said
unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, which is great and terrible, and
fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.
1 Tim 5:
[
8] But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
It is not only RIGHT I provide, care for, defend my Home and Household...it is Commanded by God.
It is the Lord God above all things that I TRUST.
Glory to God,
Taken
