Another mass shooting in the USA 2 dead and more than 20 injured in Miami! Sign of the end times. Murders have dubbled 2021

@TexChik We have to have gun laws because of safety!

@Carazaa we have thousands

@TexChik Registration has to be at the police station where they also buy their gun!

@Carazaa No it doesnt. That violates the second amendment. congress could pass laws with mandatory sentencing guidelines for gun crimes. In fact they did, and the prisons filled up with African Americans. Democrats reversed that and obama released violent felons right on the street, and some re offended soon after. The laws are there, demand more from the politicians rather than infringe the rights of law abiding gun owners.

@TexChik Come on use your logic. Safety first!

@TexChik No christian should ever get a gun, or God will send terrors on them like floods, electrical outages, and school shootings! God does not like violence. Don't get a gun for any reason! I pray and love people! That's what christians do! Texas is having Gods wrath lately!

@Carazaa The lack of safety is artificially induced as a ploy to get people to blame guns, Did obama do a thing about Chicago? Does the Mayor of Chicago do anything about the gun problems? No, they want the issue . Our right to keep and bear arms is not granted by the government but rather protected from it. If you know anything about history a quick glance at what happened after a country disarmed would astound you. The governments killed millions because they were the only legally armed entities in those countries. Not happening here. As far as safety, medical malpractice by far is much more dangerous than guns, same for motor vehicle accidents and knife attacks.

@TexChik Don't worry about politicians, God is watching Texas and is watching you!

@Carazaa And we are free to defend ourselves . My guns commit no sins

@TexChik As a Christian we should never be as concerned about our rights as we are concerned about loving people and sacrifizing our lives for Jesus. You can not be a christian and be concerned about your rights. You need to get back to your Bible and pray to be more like Jesus who died for his enemies!

@Carazaa Jesus died because God sent him to do that so that we all could get past God's law of requiring perfection. We are not perfect beings . Jesus will forgive me for wanting to defend myself and my family.

@TexChik [b][c=BF0000]Take Up Your Cross
24Then Jesus told His disciples, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. 25For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. 26What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?…MATT 16[/c][/b]

@Carazaa So if you go stand in traffic saying if you are saved its God's will and you get killed. I think you will get admonished in heaven for being so flippant with your gift of life.

@TexChik We are to love people what does that have to do with traffic! My goodness I have to go. Have a nice day!

@Carazaa as much as it does about guns. If you dont want a gun , dont buy one. However you can not dictate to others. Guns are here to stay .

@TexChik I have no right to be safe walking down the street? Crazy! I am a christian and follow Jesus! Please analyze if you are ready to die for Jesus, if not, you are not a christian!

@Carazaa If Jesus tells me to disarm I will.

@TexChik Sounds like you love some things more than Jesus, like your gun, your family, your country, your freedom! Jesus demands we follow HIM and love [b]Him [/b] more than anything!

@Carazaa No it should sound like I havent lost my God given common sense. Clearly you should just shut it.

@Carazaa He also said in Luke 22:36 "Let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one". And he also made other mentions as well in references to strengthening yourself and being able to wield power. If you are harmless, there is no virtue in causing no harm, because you don't have a choice. but if you are powerful, but don't misuse that power, then you are virtuous. This also ties in with his quote "the meek shall inherit the earth". By meek we understand that that means to wield great power but to not abuse that power. Jesus made it clear that he wanted people to be strong and resourceful on an independent level. And that he wanted people to learn to control that power and use it for good. That is true enlightenment and growth. It is an archetype found in all sorts of literature. Because suffering, love, independence and so on are all experienced on the individual level, rather than the group. So it's the individual that needs to be able to practice these freedoms.

@pianoplayingsteve OK thanks for that comment!🙂
