"In Glock we trust"?This country is armed to the teeth right now. Christians shouldn't be the last ones to arm up.

and the criminals will have guns. Most gun deaths are by a person's own hand Most of the remaining gun deaths are criminals either killing other criminals or when there are other victims it is rarely the criminal's first offense.What we do not have is military style weapons with 50 round magazines. We do have screening for people applying for a shooter's licence. You can't buy an AR15 here, not legally anyway. There is no right to carry, concealed or otherwise. There are few people who can legally own a handgun. These include police and trained security people.
Guns have to be stored in an approved safe and the ammuntion stored separately. I'm not alarmed by the rise in gun ownership. Illegal guns are another matter. The good thing is that they are mostly used by criminals against other criminals. And the perps are usually caught, sooner or later.
They're heavily regulated already. If you don't think so, try sawing a shotgun barrel down to less than 18", or have a homemade suppressor, or have a rifle with a shorter than 16" barrel, or try to buy a gun as a felon, or carry one in a "gun free zone" (unless you're a mass shooter).That's not an argument against regulating guns.
If Al-Quada, Hamas, Al Shabob, BLM or some other terrorist group decides it's time to do something in your country like they've done in Israel, it would be great comfort to them that your guns have to be stored in an approved safe and the ammuntion stored separately, and that few people who can legally own a handgun.What we do not have is military style weapons with 50 round magazines.

I can't imagine Jesus with a gun.Guess we will have to go with SCOTUS interpretation.
I can imagine him golfing and having fun.Yeah, I cant imagine him Golfing either, however, I know a lot of people like it.
But hey, after doing both, this is a lot more fun than Golfing:
can you imagine him eating meat or defending the innocent?I can imagine him golfing and having fun.
Jesus had plenty of opportunity and motive to join and lead the zealots for a just cause. But he didn't.
What does eating mat have to do with it. His defense of the innocent was verbal. Read the Gospels.can you imagine him eating meat or defending the innocent?
nothing directly however guns are often used to kill game that is later used as food for people.What does eating mat have to do with it. His defense of the innocent was verbal. Read the Gospels.
Well at least that's different than racist, homophobe, xenophobe etc.....
Some of my Christian friends and family ride and shoot in ACMSA, we are planning on going on the 17th to see them all in the local event. It is always a great family time together.
Actually they are not fires bombs, and autos can also result in mass casualties in fact all of those can be more effective than guns as there is no need to reload. Are they common means no, but are they means that can prove as effective if not more so than firearms yes.Sport is good. So we can ask if people want to ban guns why not ban bats knives, swords, axes. They also can be abused to intentionally harm others.
I think I would answer that only guns have the potential to produce mass casualties.
also sometimes verbal is not enough sometimes violence is the only thing that will work. I know quite a few people who own guns this is the rural south. I also know a number of people who I know to carry gums. None of those people do I believe would want to be violet towards anyone, and yet they will use that firearm in their defense or defense of others if that is what it takes.What does eating mat have to do with it.

It’s nice to know you have honorable criminals that only prey on other criminals with guns. Maybe our criminals in the USA could learn from your honorable criminals to be more considerate and not search out gun free zones and helpless unarmed citizens.The good thing is that they are mostly used by criminals against other criminals. And the perps are usually caught, sooner or later.
I don't understand what you mean by that.They don't want to increase their standards so are happy for everyone to reduce their own.
What I mean is probably similar to what you mean in that there is a societal sickness where men who are weak and feminized are praised for giving up the physical leadership of their home to the government or women or other weak men who are not capable, in the same ways, as strong, confident, physically and mentally fit men.I don't understand what you mean by that.
Of course the real problem is not guns but diminished mental health, community support and values.
Enable such problems with guns and we have 10s of thousands of deaths.
We have a society, a world where tension and hostility are escalated rather than de-escalated. A world where sick loners are left to feed their own illness with the help of the internet. We need to start caring about each other, stop the dehumanizing hostile arguments, and learn to resolve our differences and frustration without violence. Until we can do that, the best gun wins.
GVA is not, by design an advocacy group. The mission of GVA is to document incidents of gun violence and gun crime nationally to provide independent, verified data to those who need to use it in their research, advocacy or writing.

What alternate data do you have?But then you link to a bias, scary named web site that none of the data I looked at is even close to accurate. All deceitfully made up to create FEAR.
