Where there are guns, evil happens. Where people stand by the right to guns, evil manifests, both in them, and in those who use them to commit murder. If your insatiable need for a gun is written by fear, sugar-coated as for your protection, then God is not with you. You have said that you are God, and you do not need God to protect you, and you have said that God who is love is in a weapon that causes death, and that weapons are therefore love.
Where there are people evil happens. Where people stand by gun rights evil is held at bay. A good example of this is Switzerland, where the law says that every adult MUST own a gun. Look at their crime rate. Very very low in almost every area. Owning a weapon does NOT say you do not need God to protect you. Jesus' disciples carried swords and He even told them to at one point. Do some grown up research.
Those who own guns tend to be part of a “social gun culture.”
Men who carry guns suffer from a “crisis of confidence.”
Gun owners tend to be angry and impulsive.
Holding a gun can make you paranoid.
Those with racist views are more likely to oppose gun reform.
Conservatives are far more likely to own firearms than others.
Risk-taking students are more likely to have guns at college.
You know, the deluded thing is, that to self-enable belief in carrying a gun, what you are saying is that all those who die in mass shootings are collateral for your belief, that your belief in gun ownership is more important than all those lives lost through mass homicide. And there is a clear link. That is why evil manifests, even if it is not through the gun itself, but simply believing in owning one. You would rather people die than ever have gun control. After all, if you knew for sure that 1000s of lives every year would be saved from gun control, which would you choose? Which would evil choose? That is the question.

I am absolutely FOR GUN RIGHTS. I do believe that people should be required to have them in a locked place if there are any children in the house, and that maybe the mental capacity should be judged by a qualified phychiatrist before being allowed to purchase one. This is something that has been legal for many many years, and just because we now have phychos in the society it is no reason to take away the privileges of the many law abiding sane citizens.
Are you serious?! Or just a braindead Democrat? None of what you just said was true or made sense. Do you drive a car? More people die each year by car. Do you smoke? Yup More people die each year from lung cancer. Do you like ice cream and rich food. Yup again Heart disease kills far more than guns do. ON and on and on...Guns have NEVER killed anybody...Stupid fools do when they come up with a demented reason to. Then demented people think taking guns away will stop the killing....That's the height of foolishness...Read what I said above in post #60
I like the example of Switzerland.
How about this:
If criminals know that every household is going to have a gun, they'll think twice before entering a home.
If there's gun control and only criminals have guns...won't that make it easier for them to rob and steal and violate the homes of many.
A home is a place that should be safe. So many are being broken into. How could they be considered safe anymore?
