Please tell me in your own words what the 2nd Amendment says, and means... and, if you are feeling really verbose, please tell me WHY you think the framers of the Constitution made it #2 in the Bill of Rights... (meaning, it's pretty important)
Pick me pick me pick me!!!!! :D LOL

Back to the gun safe solution the other woman proposed. Do you think it could have maybe/possibly deterred the shooter in this case, who got the gun from his fathers house?

The military guards and locks up guns and weapons so they can't be stolen. So do police departments. I look at this as wisdom. Why, when this is proposed for singular gun owners, does it become so odious...?

That whole "Hogg" issue has always seemed suspicious to me... he wasn't even there, but all of a sudden he's the primary spokesperson for the school, looking severely into the camera, little girly fist raised defiantly in the air.... It just seems odd to me.

What happened to the OP? I still want to hear HER views on what the 2nd Amendment was for.

I found it amusing that she progressed so rapidly from "nobody wants to take your guns", to "nobody wants to take all your guns" then to "nobody should be able to own a 'military style gun'..."

Here's another quote.... " I see your true colors, shining through..."

That attitude is what spawned the term "EBR".... evil black rifle. The gun is dangerous because it looks dangerous.

Or there's a possibility that silent on lookers would take into account that dcontroversal and others are from military ranks and being so "peace like" is no easy thing,and yeah you can expect a cross word here or there or a sarcastic comment or such of that nature but that's to be expected,"warriors" aren't so keen on being "gentle" in words no different than any "spiritual warriors" that "don't back down" because to do so would likely mean "defeat" or chips in armor so to speak.
Think of it this way if particularly dcontroversal was more "peaceful like" or "polite like" as you and others would prefer,wouldn't that be someone else besides God/Jesus,defining what makes dcontroversal,dcontroversal?
I myself struggle with being somewhat "peaceful" or even "loving" because I am "determined" to do my utmost for God/Jesus and I can't help but get a burning in my soul to fight spiritually for him and imagine for dcontroversal it is a similar circumstance,being saved changes everything about a person's "service" but it doesn't change who a person is or their value,like with me no matter what I do in accomplishments or holding my tongue it won't change that I'm merely Joseph a child of God saved by the grace of God and Jesus's works,you can't expect people to "change" because you'd like them to otherwise that's "force" and not their idea or likewise what God/Jesus would want.
So if I'm a 'playa' it's ok for me to sleep around because that's just who I am.

Nice to know. Thanks!

:rolleyes: sounds to me like youre making a ridiculous argument

sharing truth is whats most important

if you love someone you tell them the truth

even if they dont like it


if they get offended thats because they hate reproof


also

your straw man is obvious

you know joe is not justifying sin or fornication anywhere in his post

he is saying its more loving to share the truth in a way that some may be offended by

then sweet talk and tickle someones ears with lies just to please them

Show me one instance where He ever said anything like that to His followers. You're comparing apples to oranges.

Too, One can share a different opinion without resorting to name calling. You really think God condones this kind of activity?

you acted like his point was to justify fornication with your false argument


this is the strawman you made


when his point is closer to


if someone tells you that youre ignorant for believing lies
(potentially offensive)

or says in a sweet gentle way that what you believe is not indeed the truth

these are both more loving

than being sweet and agreeing with someone just to please them


and i posted those verses to show Jesus was STILL being loving when He said those things to those who didnt follow Him

by sharing truth


the same way He is being loving when He says

Matthew 8:26
26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

is loving

though it is reproof and more gentle

they both come from love

neither come from hate


but i never suggested He calls His followers white washed tombs

that is another false argument

2 Timothy 2 23 Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. 24 And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome

Mathew 5:22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, 'Raca,' is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell.

Proverbs 30: 33 -
For as churning cream produces butter, and as twisting the nose produces blood, so stirring up anger produces strife."

Colossians 3:
8 But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9 Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices

Philippians 2:14 Do everything without grumbling or arguing, 15 so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.”[SUP]c[/SUP] Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky

Proverbs 13:10 Where there is strife, there is pride, but wisdom is found in those who take advice.

1 Corinthians 1:10 I appeal to you, brothers, by the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united and of one mind and the same judgment.

you made a false arguement against joefizz

you should read some of these verses next time before you falsely equate what a brother says to justifying fornication
;)


nothing i am speaking of is related to pride

or stirring up anger

it is about being honest with those in error as opposed to lying


also

if you think you are perfectly gentle to all
youre wrong


you are not

i agree gentleness is a fruit of the Holy spirit
i also think we should be careful with how we speak to others as members of the body of Christ


but if someone says to me when im in grave error

"listen pal, you have no idea what youre talking about here.... the truth is we are saved by grace through faith and any other belief is stupid"


this is coming from a heart that wants someone else to see the truth


as opposed to

"hey bro..... i know we believe different things.... i sure do think im right but its ok for you to believe what you believe too.... your works based religion is just as valid as my own"


neither of these are perfect


but one is out of love

the other is not

22 Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the Lord; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men.

23 Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under:

24 And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the Lord: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.

25 And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire under.

26 And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made.

27 And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.

28 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them.

29 And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded.

If a home invader comes into your home and your weapon is locked up and unreachable, what good is it going to do you? "Wisdom" is to have your weapon of self-defense in hand for any eventuality.
