Some gun mfg, thought they could sell lever action rifles if they made it look like a prop from a Mad Max movie.WHAT is THAT?
One of the "new" 3030s that I believe mossberg puts out. They are ugly lolWHAT is THAT?
Just not my cup of tea.. Lol I love old pre 64 winchesters though, Never will beat the feel of one :]Mossberg .30-30 Tactical Zombie Killer. I have yet to see one show up at any of the ranges I shoot at.
I think that they were trying to use as much of the tooling for a .30-30 lever action and cobble the so called tactical elements on it for a wow factor. I know I was almost smitten myself. That was until I held one.Some gun mfg, thought they could sell lever action rifles if they made it look like a prop from a Mad Max movie.
Do you think that being a Christian and like guns makes you (me) a hypocrite?
No, because guns aren't inherently pro-violence. But the issue is that in America your gun laws are too lax, which allows people who ought not to have guns at all too easily being able to acquire self-loading firearms and taking out their rage on schools, workplaces, music concerts, etc. Unfortunately, people being emotional beings rather than reasonable, then go to extremes and either say "no guns!" or else "my 300 year old 2nd amendment rights for modern firearms!" I mean it's like if you had no speed limits on the roads or tried to apply 300 year old road rules in 2018. You need sensible laws, like you do about cars on the road. If you want to drive your Maserati at 185, you do it at the track, and if you want to have a self-loading firearm you require it be kept at the gun range.
Indeed, my former Pastors as far back as I can remember were hunters/shooters. Saturday I shot a PPC match, and the guy I was next to was also a Lutheran Elder, from the same Synod, from a Parish about 30 miles from my house, and about 40 miles from the range where we both shot. LOL. Good Times. My present Pastor is not a shooter... but he wants to become one!I worked at a factory for 32yrs until one day I fell asleep at the wheel and hit a state snow plow head on. I am now disabled and I languished for 5yrs in grief over losing my job. One day I believe the Lord gave me a prompting to fix, repair and mainly refinish guns. Something I've dabbled in on my own gun. I have grappled with this question until I read that the first time Jesus sent the disciples out to spread the gospel he sent them with no supplies or weaponry. But on his approaching death he told them to carry a sword. Here's the point, Jesus instructed them to take a sword (also on the night of his arrest). You see being on the road in those days was dangerous, bandits roamed freely robbing and hurting people. The way I see it He made provision for their safety and defense. So I confidently believe now that there is nothing wrong with owning firearms. Hey you can kill with an automobile too. I have learned, studied and now doing amateur gunsmithing. I call it my encore enterprise. I love to hunt and target shoot. Where I live it is not dangerous so I don't carry all the time. However when we go to the cities I carry. I absolutely hate the thought of killing another human being, except in war, but I do believe in defending myself and others. So far, even though I like the feel and fun of a modern sporting arm, aka assault rifle I won't own one until our state (PA) allows semi's for hunting. I will not work on one for anyone I feel is a danger. Case in point we were in a gun shop a couple years ago when 3 guys, most likely gang members, came in and bought a gun. As a gunsmith or dealer our state allows us to refuse sale to anyone we feel would use it to harm someone else, or themselves. I would include the hurting souls that aren't mentally stable in that group. I would not have have sold it to them. I would have shared Jesus with them. I am super safe to make sure my arms can't be accessed by anyone but me. Oh and did I tell you my wife likes to shoot. So what's to say? being in gun business and loving Jesus are not mutually exclusive. By the way, if anybody needs their firearm serviced/repaired/refinished you can email me at fivemtnman@epix.net. I would love to do it for ya. Y'all God Bless and have a good safe day! Don't forget to spread the gospel.
Um, no, why would it? I love guns like I love any well made tool that functions well.I once said that I like guns and think of them as a beautiful technical art. I was nearly kicked off of FB and the hate mail was on one reason I left FB. It seems that some people have the impression that if you say that you are a Christian and like guns then you are a hypocrite. Not so. I am also a former machinist and fabricator, a marketing management professional, a 3D CAD artist, and I have built thousands of fixtures for manufacturing engineering of products almost everybody has seen in some form. I do not mean that all guns are beautiful, technical, nor an art. However, I do appreciate those which are made in high or moderate volume manufacturing and have the look and feel of fine craftsmanship. I really appreciate it when I see an older a gun with more tight fitting the parts and which as been around for many years and still shoots accurately and reliably. What about you? Do you think that being a Christian and like guns makes you (me) a hypocrite?

neither am I. I would like to try shoot at a range.I’m not passionate about firearms. But I did excel at marksmanship in high school and there are activities I’d to try that involve the use of guns. Like skeet shooting.
I don’t foresee myself taking up hunting, but I’m interested in fox hunting (non kill in the US) as a participant and spectator.

I used to hunt, and will still go out and shoot groundhogs given the opportunity, and have one rifle dedicated to that; were I to live in western Canada, Gophers would be in my sights in the warmer months.I’m not passionate about firearms.
