God & Guns: Coexistence?




With the media firestorm about firearms we can add a third item to the list of “things to never bring up unless you want an argument!!!” (you know politics, religion and now firearms).  While politics ain’t exactly my cup of tea, God and Guns, on the other hand, is something I will gladly discuss.  I could go all day on both those topics alone.  Can a believer in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior advocate a wretched item of destruction such as a gun????  I say absolutely!!!

           Let’s lay some groundwork for my argument.  Really the topic at hand is firearms.  The whole idea for this blog is making a case for God so firearms will be the topic at discussion.

           The liberal media (rabbit trail comin’ here) is just blasting firearms for no good reason.  They are criticizing responsible citizens for not wanting gun control, in response to mass shootings across the nation.  Irresponsible, angry maniacs get a hold of guns and start killing for the sake of killing (the true criminal) and they are being labeled as clinically insane, in response our government wants to make laws banning guns or “high capacity” magazines to make us, the responsible, law-abiding citizen safer???  I fail to see how making a law for the citizen to follow will make me safer as criminals by nature break laws.  Am I the only one not seeing the logic here?!?!

           I apologize for the rabbit trail, not what I was intending.  Anyways, I ask what is the real problem? Common sense says it is the person behind the object.  The world says that the problem is the object because people are “basically good” (they fail to read their Bibles {Romans 1-3}).  Inanimate objects are labeled as dangerous, respectfully so, but then banned or somehow made “safer”.  No longer is it the person who is at fault.  The same people that want to ban guns are the same people that refuse to take responsibility for their actions.  The person behind the gun is the problem.  Let’s not forget American history and how guns have been used for good and for bad.  This nation was built on the right and responsibility to use and own guns.

           Do I own a gun? Yes I own three of them and I want to build that collection daily.  I own a .22 caliber Savage MK II bolt-action rifle.  I own a Heckler & Koch USP .45 and a Springfield Armory XDM 9mm.  Much of my time is spent researching firearms.  Guns are a huge part of my life.  Illinois is the only state without conceal carry, which will change soon, and as soon as it does I am applying for it.

           Self-Defense.  You say the likelihood of me needing to use my gun for self-defense is slim to none.  Really?!?! Tell that to the people involved in mass shootings.  Tell that to the people who do use them daily for self-defense, but you don’t hear about those stories in mass media (no I am NOT talking about the military).  Look up all the stories about how guns have saved lives in everyday living here in the United States.  Yeah happens daily!!!

           Me? I love guns.  They are tools and that’s how I use it, it’s also a hobby for me.
