im a christian and god gave us nothing of the sort. god gave us the commandments to live by, but the people in charge arent in that same boat.
MAN gives people rights by having similar civic values and enforces them by force.
God gives us the ability to know whats right and wrong.
The whole idea of having firearms is to be able to revolt against tyrannical government.
Your election just got stolen. Dont talk to Australians who are fighting unarmed against tyranny while you with all your guns sit around and do nothing. If thats what guns are for then why the fuck do you have them, aside from showing off your toys and that 'secondary' reason you claim which is hunting and ... sporting? sporting? the fuck is that... SPORT. you dont SPORTING. Thats not a word. Do something about your stolen election then talk to us about having guns to stop tyranny, right now youre doing nothing of the sort.
We have the legal right to defend ourselves using anything up to and including lethal force.
God gives us the ability to know whats right and wrong.
Logically: you just undid your entire argument, with that statement. If you're genuine, than you know what I'm getting at. God told you to render unto Caesar what is Caesar's, but he also told you to never bear false witness, and to know which lines to never cross. Even Jesus went all Indiana Jones on some folks who were trying to blaspheme his father. Some acts are too egregious to simply ignore. After a certain point: complacency becomes complicity.
*edit: nevermind, read the rest of your comment. I think we're on the same boat. The take-home of this conversation really is: "why the fuck are people not doing more to defend themselves, 'up to and including lethal force'."
