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.
