I think the UN is pretty much a paper tiger and I don't see how they could even enforce that

I agree.... and I'm really not all that certain that ANY "treaty" signed can usurp our Constitution. If "they" do try it, there will be war. Figuratively and literally.
This was threatened years ago, and the consensus at that time was "the color light blue is a great color for a target"

An ex Marine said to me once , he had no problem shooting blue helmets. I recommend a reading of Foxe's Book of Martyrs. I guess we'll see what happens. Go out like the Martyrs or like Rambo. Either way , I hope the articles I posted are food for thought if we come down to shedding blood to keep our guns.

Something tells me it won't come to that because as I mentioned earlier, the UN is mostly a paper tiger

Is it time to return to the OP subject: a Christian response to gun confiscation?

Personally, I, as a gun owner, believe that there is a definite responsibility that comes with owning a gun. It is potentially a lethal weapon. Therefore those who are mentally-emotionally unstable and violent, such as the man that shot up the University of Virginia campus yesterday, must be prevented from owning a gun. I realize that this is difficult to codify into law, but the recurring misuse of guns, regularly resulting in mass murders, must be controlled. Freedom must be balanced with regard for human life.

I'm inclined to agree. I think for most people guns are just expensive toys
And I'm not saying that law abiding citizens shouldn't have guns but as you mentioned, there are clearly some people who should not be armed

I am very pro-gun being that I am retired military and would stand up for that right and give my life for it. Why? Because we need to be able to stand up to our government in the case of over corruption and turning on the people. Taking the guns would be the first step and a lot of deaths of people just trying to do their job. Our freedoms is what allows us to bow our heads and pray in a public restaurant. Just my quick explanation view.

I accept that but I don’t see our own military following those orders. We discussed this greatly while I was in. When the people would split so would the military. Most Generals do not think highly of congress and them prying constantly.

Try not to laugh too hard.
What do you guys think of this?
(Expand the screen manually to see the video better)

KNIFE WIELDING MAN IN FIGHT WITH COP WITH A SHOTGUN IS TAKEN OUT BY DUDE WITH A COCONUT!

Some guy is chasing police around the street with a knife. They are armed with shotguns.
I don't know the origin of this quote, but
"Beware the man who carries one coconut.
He probably knows how to use it.". 😄


After that, check out my new thread in this forum. It's "Stunts, Extreme Sports, Records ..."

Looks like that cop needs some shooting practice

Apparently he was using some type of non lethal round.

I went back to watch it again and think you are right. It's hard to tell for sure with camera angles, obstructions and movement.
Because it ended well, nobody seriously hurt and I don't have PTSD from the knife attacks against me, I can laugh about it. Maybe the police station will reassess the ammo.choice. If they thought a shotgun and gear belt was heavy before, their gonna be upset when they have coconuts hanging from their belts. 😄

Sometimes wacked out people aren't stopped by gas rounds, mace, pepper spray and such.

We got to experience a lot of things in Corrections, so we had an appreciation of the effect should we need to administer them.

Years ago I saw a video with this guy standing outside the convenience store with a katana.
The cops were trying not to kill him if they didn't have to. They kept hitting him with tear gas and rubber bullets and he still wouldn't drop the katana.
Finally they brought in a fire hose and that did the trick

I am sorry that you live in such fear of "the government". Of course you realize that there are various levels of government -- federal, state, and local -- and that there are resources to maintaining peace, law, and order. It is definitely dangerous to arm citizens to "take the law into their own hands" without the necessary discipline and training.

Your comment about praying in a public restaurant is "off the wall". If a person objects to your praying in public, is your solution to shoot them?

I'm inclined to agree. That sounded like a lot of paranoid rambling. Literally nobody is trying to stop anyone from praying in a restaurant. That's not happening in reality. Gun confiscation isn't going to happen either.
