I'm not. In places where people are not allowed to defend themselves, they're easy prey.
One of my friends was accepted to an Olympic shooting team.
I asked him what is plan B if the gt forbids firearms on the islands. At the time it was legal and he had no trouble. Next thing I heard a month or two later, he was in training until the gt stole his pistol.
He was forbidden from transporting his competition firearm across the sea to islands with ranges because of a new policy.
His team folded and never participated representing the US Virgin Islands.

Oh course not. I don't deny the choice for others. Why would i do that?.
Does your left side of your brain talk to your right side?
Looks like one side is hard of hearing.

You just said you do not deny the choice for others....

All right folks, let’s buckle up.

NO YOU DON’T NEED A GUN !
IVE NEVER HAD A GUN. TAKE THAT SECOND AMENDMENT !
A double minded man is unstable....

He didn't mean you specifically. He meant it is possible to live without a gun in general.

I see......
Do me a favor. Do not get a gun.

He said this.... (not addressed to me)

People from Canada, England, and Australia I have had contact with highly respect the fact that we have a second amendment.
Many also regret today not having one of their own....

You think Jesus waved a magic wand, and evil has simply ceased?
The restraining power of the right to bear arms creates for some the illusion of evil having ceased..

You should loosen your necktie and take off your suspenders, change out of your pajamas, come up out of the basement, walk outside and get some fresh air. He's yanking your chain. @Eli1 doesn't own guns, but he's OK with me driving my tank.

What if I yank that chain back?

And he comes falling down through the ceiling landing on his butt?


That is one reason why the straight man in a comedy act got paid more than the jokester! :geek:

That's not the point. 500 yards would be too much for most no matter what round they were using.
Not exactly an unheard of distance for people hunting in the open country either.

Now you think I'm Joe Biden?
Pretty sure Joe isn't Jewish. But if he hadn't gotten out of the race he might have eventually become Jewish. After all, he was Greek, Italian, Irish, and black at different points in his life.

My day job is at a comedy club...

The pay is a joke.
Of course it does. The guy at the comedy club during the day is the janitor. Did you think you were just getting small crowds?

Well Jesus told Peter that they that live by the sword shall die by the sword. He also said to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.

I think in this case it's not a matter of theology but a case of individual conviction. I have seen the evil of the world and would support every person's right to bare arms.
I agree.

Living by the sword today would translate to mean someone living a life of crime, like the Mafia.
They make their living that way.

Jesus was telling Peter to stop acting like a law breaker.
Nothing about owning or carrying a weapon.

How do we know?


Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him,
“for all who draw the sword will die by the sword."
Mat 26:52


Did you notice?
Peter kept his sword.

Not only that.
Jesus did not tell Peter to get rid of it!

But, Jesus told Peter to KEEP IT!




In Christ .......... GeneZ
