Certainly! And I highly respect your request for focused and intelligent recourse, by the way.
I understand what you are saying about our right to bear arms for the defense of life and property, and respect for the wisdom of the framers of the Bill of Rights.
But this began with commentary on my use of the term "gun worshipers", so I need to clarify my use of the term.
I find it hard to respect a society that is so full of flagrant contradictions;
Christians, so-called followers of Jesus, beating war drums, populating the NRA, and executing prisoners, Bible in one hand and pistol in the other.
Self-proclaimed "patriots" demanding that other people be censored or punished economically simply for straying from the opinion of the majority.
Democratic leaders of the "Free World" imposing world peace at gunpoint.
I condemn the spirit of "gun worship"; the "might is right" mentality that makes us the most violent, most untrustworthy and most feared nation on the globe.
We have to agree on something: Christians run the spectrum from complete pacifists (Amish, Mennonites, Quakers, etc.) to outright savages: the Roman Crusaders of the Middle Ages. And frankly, the more a sect utilizes the jewish old testament, the more war-like he will be. So, I tend to be right in the middle which would be reflected best by Oliver Cromwell's Puritans... i.e., those who settled Jamestown, VA. Picture Christians of Switzerland today. A whole nation of WELL REGULATED MILITIA, but NEVER AGGRESSING, nor meddling in other nations. Therefore, it's best to pick on the Christians who you see, in particular being hypocritical to the NT expressions in the Gospel and Epistles. Sort of like Jesus does with the 7 Churches in Rev. 2 and 3. Now, in self-defense, MIGHT ISN'T ONLY RIGHT, it's demanded by Jesus if you are to have a family. WDJE? What Does Jesus Expect? Liberty First, then we Talk Peace.
