Originally posted by menace71It is my understanding that galveston75 believes attempting to ban guns is the correct course of action to prevent killings.
I do believe that banning guns will not help at all. I believe the founders had it right and the 2nd amendment is there to cause government to take pause instead of becoming full on tyrannical against it's people. In a perfect world in which only God can bring about then guns will no longer be needed and be obsolete 🙂

-Removed-I agree. It would be awesome if RJH would agree on some level that guns are a problem and a really big problem in the wrong hands.
I know the guns are here and agree with Manny that the only way they'll ever be gone out of any humans hands will be by God.
But until then it would seem if RJH had any real concern for his fellow man and still wanted his guns, he would be doing what he can to help with this situation even if just by his comments.
But I see nothing like that from him and I truly believe that there are many more like him out there. They'll kill anyone that tries to take them or die in wanting to keep them.
Originally posted by galveston75There is no reason for anyone to want to take my gun. I have not done anything illegal or bad with it and I am not planning on doing anything with it that is illegal or bad. It would be illegal and wrong for anyone to try to take my gun from me. 😏

P.S. Today, a gun would obviously replace the sword of those days.
Originally posted by RJHindsYou are still missing the point of what Jesus was teaching to his followers. Your only seeing what you want to see in that scripture and not seeing the whole point of why Jesus said that.

‘If I carry a gun,’ some believe, ‘I’ll be safe. I’ll get him before he gets me. At least I’ll scare him off!’ However, it’s not that simple.
George Napper, Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A., public-safety commissioner, says: “Owning a handgun means being prepared to live with the aftermath of killing another human being.”
Is a Christian prepared to live with such a consequence, which may well include bloodguilt?—Compare Numbers 35:11, 12.
Also, God’s Word commands, ‘Beat your swords into plowshares’ and, “Seek peace and pursue it.” (Micah 4:3; 1 Peter 3:11)
How can Christians seek protection in firearms and at the same time live in harmony with the Bible’s requirements? In any case, the attacker is likely to be quicker on the draw than the victim.
Jesus rejected armed resistance. True, he instructed his apostles to carry two swords to the garden of Gethsemane, the place where he would be arrested. But why did he do this? Having weapons, yet not using them, powerfully demonstrated that Jesus’ followers should not resort to carnal weapons.
It is noteworthy that having a weapon available, Peter impetuously used it. Jesus strongly rebuked him for this rash act with the words: “All those who take the sword will perish by the sword.”—Matthew 26:36, 47-56; Luke 22:36-38, 49-51.
Get the point here as you are wrong in thinking and even teaching to others that Jesus would approve of any weapons.
Originally posted by galveston75Don't listen to George Napper. He is wrong. Listen to Jesus. Jesus says own a gun. That does not mean one has to use it to kill someone. Many times a show of force is all that is needed to prevent violence. Firing the gun a couple times may be enough to scare an aggressor away.

Originally posted by RJHindsLol. No suprise at all that you can't get it. The scriptures clearly give that example of Jesus's commands on killing and the use of weapons. Maybe someday you will but it's not there now.
