Ok well you are resorting to inane comments. I think we will call it a day. You can claim victory if you need to. Bye bro..
You're so anti-gun that you don't realize what you're saying.
People have accidents and sometimes with a gun. It isn't the gun's responsibility it is the person not handling the gun properly that is always without exception the one responsible for the "gun accident".
 
Now you're resorting to personal attacks. Those are the last resort of one unable to engage in intellectually honest debate.

God, who was Jesus, is the same yesterday,today, and forever.
I've been criticised for my username several times on here. No one seemed to think they were personal attacks.
I'm very humble by the way. Don't you think so?
 
Take away temptation from people, mentally ill or not.
There is prayer I heard once that goes partly like this
" Lead us not into temptation".
Guns are always a temptation.

Temptation comes from the inside of a man, not from the outside. I think a temptation like killing needs to be fought with the right revelation in order to overcome the temptation. Otherwise, the killing is going to be done another way with no physical means by others for protection.
 
SO obviously Fertilizer has to be banned - The folks in West, TX, and Oklahoma City might possibly agree.
Don't forget the need to ban vehicles. Potential high velocity weapons that they are.
Steak knives. Butter knives for that matter too, as they can be given a sharp edge if one wishes to go to the effort.
Prison guards confiscate weapons everyday. Even a handmade "gun".

Aerosol cans and lighters need be banned to their potential of making a homemade flame thrower when used together.

Many a person are now in prison having used antifreeze to commit murder.

Rocks! Ban rocks too due to their weapon potential. Especially with used in a high velocity slingshot.

Rattail combs! Wrap the "tail" in duck tape, or not, and it can be a stabbing weapon.

The movie character Tyler Durden in Fight Club, told viewers how to make nitroglycerin and napalm, using simple household items.

Ban 'em all so we'll feel safe. 😉

guns are not temptation in,all.that's a faulty logic ,

cops do use and abuse their guns to commits crimes ,the military can and has on any nation commityes crimes

it was lawful in my state under the orders of the president Andrew Jackson. who fought in the first Seminole war to remove Seminoles and bounty set on children and women killed or captured.

guns magically did all that themselves ,you can't call it a temptation then ask for laws and assume the police don't and aren't encouraged to carry 24/7.I know of agencies who will fire cops for not carrying off duty!

Interesting post. I admit there is some truth in what you say. We are weak inside and vulnerable to sin.
Here are a few analogies.....someone addicted to porn. Wouldnt they be better they stay away from porn sites? Wouldnt everyone be better to stay away from porn sites? Addicted or not.
Alcoholics avoid pubs and alcohol.
Dieters stay away from fast food restaurants? All of us need to stay away from fast food for our health.
My point is that temptation is real. And not just inside us.
God knows we are easily tempted. So we should stay away from temptation. That's wise advice. If I'm feeling suicidal and there is a gun in the house, that's a real temptation. Convenient. Easier than self stabbing or taking pills. I could try strangling myself? Yeah I know hanging is a popular option. But a gun is a quicker death.
I'm not really anti gun. Im anti murder.
Look at the Christians who screams out against abortion yet turn a blind eye to mass shootings.
 
I respect law enforement but just like anyone else they are still just human beings. I trust a cop with a gun equally as i do a law abiding licenced citizen with a gun. I dont see any difference.
im not anti cop but pointing out that they take home and store their guns like anyone else .

I posted that my vacation we carried ,myself and Monica's bf only had it .they drive with it .I always returned it cleared ,he loaded the clip but didn't chamber it

So how do you feel walking down the street knowing that everyone is packing a gun?
Hey that guy looked at me sideways......
Sorry kiwi. I don't want to live in the wild west .

I said i have the same trust in armed cops as i do law abiding citizen licenced owners. Both have been tested as trustworthy enough though the system to be allowed to have arms. Why should i think otherwise?.

Right. What makes it hard is these things effect everyone. It is not everyone's temptation to kill, but it is everyone's right to have protection. One who is tempted is going to find a way. An alcoholic or drug addict find a way. A killer is going to kill. Many go on a "diet" and are not serious about it. What stops temptation?

If America wants to reduce mass killings, America needs to ask what truly stops temptation. Why does it happen? What is the common factor of the people doing this.
 
but it is everyone's right to have protection.
You mean it's everyone's right to have a gun.
Having a gun as protection is always there but how can you guarantee it's always used judiciously.
Gun laws occur because human beings make mistakes in judgement. Some of the people on here see themselves as never vulnerable to error in regard to using a gun. I don't believe they are perfect.
