The desire to kill your brother stands at the door, and its desire is for you, and you must rule over it.
Another shooting. Defending the indefensible.

Your unfounded conspiracy claims are proven to be false. We do not have bodies lying in the street or children dropping like flies. No, we don't have a second amendment. We do not have a bill of rights. We do have the right to send our kids to school without them being dressed in Kevlar to protect them from psychos with guns.
Do you not know what the Bible says about obeying the authorities? That was written during the Roman occupation of Israel and most of the Middle East and much of Europe. You don't see the Christians of that era forming armies to defend against Roman oppression, even when Nero started murdering believers, feeding them to lions and burning them alive. Christians should be praying for their civil leaders, not assuming that they are the enemy. You do not need guns when God is your fortress and strength. And a gun won't help you when you are facing a Bradley or an Apache helicopter.
No red-blooded American should give up their constitutionally protected gun rights for another persons mental health, mental illness or any other medical problem.
BTW.......the so-called medical practice of psychiatry and psychiatrists are all an abysmal failure.
It's either a chemical or mechanical lobotomy take your choice. Slow insidious neuron death or rapid butchery......that's all they've got. It's amazing to me that people are not filing class-action lawsuits and criminal charges on a daily basis. The lies, fear force and fraud and abuses are epic.
The Harvard trained psychiatrist Peter Breggin has exposed the whole rotten affair.
Australia has a problem with knife crime. Yes, reducing the number of guns etc will not eliminate murders. However, it is much harder to kill 20 or 30 people with a knife than with an AR15. And you have to get close with a knife, giving more opportunity for security to intervene before the body count gets extreme. No murder is acceptable. However, all the hand wringing by politicians has achieved nothing but increasing flower sales and sending business to funeral homes.
Tanks would destroy the roads due to their weight and construction. Planes would present a myriad of possible hazards in urban spaces. That's one of the reasons military bases are in isolated areas and restricted. I'm not advocating their use where they would present dangers, only their ownership.
Which part of not advocating any restrictions is difficult to understand?
The problem is anti-gun proponents blame the wrong thing.
It isn't the weapon. It's the mind.
What rarely gets reported is when armed citizens stop a would be mass murderer.
In all cases where shooters open up on unarmed innocents, were there armed trained civilians present the outcome would very likely be less innocent victims, if any.
Guns are outlawed in Scotland.
It isn't a nonviolent country today. Rather the weapon of choice of those who intend harm are knives.
Sounds like you’re putting restrictions and my team of expensive lawyers would argue that the second amendment reins supreme and there’s nothing higher than it and the government is infringing on my right to drive my tank safely on the road.
Really? Alexandr Solzhenitsyn begs to differ. So do the millions of forceably unarmed Chinese dead during Mao's pogroms. And Stalin's. And Hitler's. They all did the gun grabbing routine before the mass murdering.
Perhaps a review of the Book of Esther be helpful as well. You know.....when the King allowed Israelites the right of self-defense?
I appreciate the response. Your solution only reduces the number of deaths, it doesn't solve the problem. It's like you are saying everything is ok if we can lessen the damage caused by the problem. That's not a solution. People will still be murdered.
If you really think that armed civilians could do anything to defend against a modern army, you are deluded. The next generation of soldiers will be armed drones or robots. The weapons used against civilians will be fired from the air or 50 km away. You will hear but not see the shell or missile that flattens your home and maybe you with it. This is not 1789. We need God's protection and power, not the NRA.
Yes, this is what my team of lawyers would argue so I can keep my tank.
Either create a perfect society with no murder OR I’m not giving up my tank !
No, it's not OK. But surely any life saved is worth it? Vehicles are required to have airbags, seat belts and are tested for how well occupants can survive a crash. Cars would be far cheaper if all those requirements were scrapped. Some people will die anyway. Is that a reason to ditch all safety requirements?
I have no problems with any of it. Just don't park too close to a fire hydrant. And perhaps you need better lawyers.
How should we outlaw Russia's missiles to deter them from invading a disarmed population?
Wow that's a lot of knife crimes. An urgent personal safety problem that can be rectified by arming yourself with a 10mm Glock with a high volume mag.
And people say guns don't solve problems.
If you want to save lives, put law enforcement in the school. Allow trained teachers to concealed carry. Making schools or any place gun free makes it an easy target. Don't settle for a few. Protect them all.
