I have no problem with defending your family. If someone was attacking my family, I'd shoot too, but not to kill, unless needed. Jesus told the disciples to carry swords, so I get it. I'm just talking about those that 'need' guns.

I totally agree with you jamesc! But, you are not going to convince anyone here at SA. They will have a comeback for everything you offer. I'm not against the second amendment either. I personally own no guns and have no plans to buy any. Awsome post Bro.

I'm always smug around people who pretend to be Christian, but carry around weapons that are only effective for one thing killing people. Vigilantes are not lawmen.

I didn't shoot Giffords or 20 kids, so why should my rights be curtailed because someone else did? Where else do you apply that logic? Letter openers?

I never argued that anyone has a right to commit murder, so please stop implying that I did.

Reality = Your nations 'law' provides for everybody to carry weapons.
Reality = Your shopping malls all over the nation have gunshops which resemble military style arsenals.

Protecting children from abuse has nothing to do with regulating home schooling. Don't conflate them. You desire to control other people. I think we should leave people alone unless we have credible evidence that they are actually hurting someone. The disagreement on this issue and the gun issue are just symptoms of that.

I wonder how the gun crime rate in the South where the ownership rate is highest, compares with that of other countries, where it is lower. Nevermind, I also already know.

My problem is that people are carring them around and I don't know which one of those people are going to be carelss. Can anyone on these message boards tell me when someone will decide to be careless? Nope, so to protect my family, not from a 'gang banger' or a crazy person, but from a guy packing a gun who has no malice in his intent, should I refrain from going out to dinner?
