I'm going to honor Zeroturb's request and not engage the topic any further on this thread.
Thanks, but I think I've accepted the fact that its impossible to keep the anti-gun posters from turning this thread into a debate. -_-

Yea, but I know how hard it can be to ignore. It was worth a shot anyway.. (pun intended!)

One of them is also on my ignore list.

We could also talk about something offensive to them!


Favorite AR-15 magazines!!!!

I love the 30-round pmag.

If I'm going to a range, I'm bringing hand guns. Honestly Rifles don't require near the experience to use efficiently in my opinion. On that topic of hand guns, there is one gun that i think is more entertaining than all i have fired and that is the PMR 30 from Keltec. Fires 22 magnum from a 30 round mag, which can also be used the the CMR 30 rifle.

You better keep me faaaaaaaaaar away from your firearms. All gagets that are the slightest bit tech-y malfunction around me.

I think I'll bring my sword in stead and look for someone to duel

Well. Look at it from our point of view.
Imagine if there was no rule against "recommending" drugs and someone started a "How would you get high?" thread.
Wouldn't any of you butt it to tell people not to? (I know it isn't the same THING, but from the perspective of those of us who don't like firearms it's simply a bad thing, just like I assume most of you would feel about drugs)

This is also a weapon enthusiast thread. You can talk about swords, shield-maiden. ;P

So tell me where does talking about guns fit in to Christianity?

Considering guns ARE an offensive weapon, then regardless, you are offending people who aren't gung-ho like you are by talking about them.

Bringing up guns and having threads about the glorification of them, can be offensive and counterproductive to fellowship. Not everyone in the world is American.

I'm sorry you have to stoop to that point that we know you are pushing, by playing the victim card. How old are you ZeroTurbulence?

In my own firearm training, my instructor actually told me it’s better that you not carry if you are not ready to kill in a moment in time. So whenever a Christian takes on their body the capacity and the willingness in their heart to kill another human being, that, to me, is a serious moral and ethical crisis. It’s also a serious theological problem, because we have to ask, “Is it always the will of God that I survive a violent confrontation?” For example, with the stoning of Stephen as recorded in the book of Acts, was it God’s will for Stephen to survive, and did he fail at that? Or was it God’s will that he die? I would argue it was God’s will. So these are serious theological problems that demand examination for the Christian.

From the Official Christian Chat Rules:

2. No conduct that is offensive or counterproductive to fellowship.

We like to welcome all to Christian Chat, but if anyone is not here for fellowship (or for wanting to know about Christianity), but simply for disrupting fellowship, offending people, whatever, then that person is not welcome.

Same here....I have a decked out Mini-14 and I chose it because it is based upon the M-14 which was an excellent platform....not that I do not like a M-4 or AR-15 because I do....I alternate between a red dot and or a 3x9 40 Mil view scope depending on if I am in "coyote" mode or defense mode...numerous 30 and 20 round clips and a single point sling.....awesome weapon....looking into prints and taking it to a friend's machine shop to put a selector switch on it..... ;)

There is just something perfect and proportional about a 30-round mag.

That said, I'll get a drum bag someday for fun.
