No one's saying everyone with gun is going to kill people. That's not the point of the discussion.because the second amendment just because someone has it does not mean they mean harm. I know people have SEVERAL guns who have never shot and killed anyone in their lives and at least one of them is pushing three score ( 60 years old.)
Guns are much easier to obtain and deploy than an effective chemical weapon. We're not talking about what someone MIGHT do, the issue is what people WILL do, what's EASY for them to do. About REASONABLE threat assessments.another "option" if someone REALLY wanted to kill many people would be lethal gas in a very public place.
thank you violence does nothing but beget violence.You can't solve violence by more restrictions - That causes more hate.
Jesus also said to buy a sword when He sent His followers out. There is a difference in LIVING by the sword and using it for protection or even to deter people.Not the least being the Evangelical Community who wants to ensure we maintain gun rights. I am reminded of Jesus words:
"Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword."
Yes. Sin was the primary motive for everything in the 60's Peace Movement. They were against the US government indiscriminately killing people in a war that was unwinnable for a cause that few actually believed in near the end. That's probably their greatest sin...wanting peace.
And don't forget this horrific sin:
If one has sought treatment for or has been admitted to a mental hospital then most states and the federal government say they may not legally purchase a gun. Now, of course this assumes that the person's illness is documented which is where better mental healthcare could come into play.Hi, I don't own a gun but I always thought that I could just go out and buy a gun? I could be wrong.

TORAH ! Just like TORAH - just because people break TORAH every day does not mean we should ignore TORAH. TORAH does not always stop people from doing things, but it does mean YHWH can slap extra penalties on people who fail to keep TORAH.You could make similar arguments about things like speeding. The fact that people speed does not mean we should remove speed limits. Regulations do not always stop people from doing things, but they do mean that we can slap extra penalties on people who fail to follow them.
In some states you can probably purchase and own a black powder firearm, or a cross bow, if you like.Oh, I didn't know that. I've been hospitalized for my mental illness before. So I didn't know I wasn't allowed to purchase a gun.
I know, but I was saying that owning a gun does not mean someone intends to use it, nor will a gun shoot itself SOME people seem to think that gun control really works, yet MOST mass shootings have proven otherwise.No one's saying everyone with gun is going to kill people. That's not the point of the discussion.
Maybe because at the time they were not an issue or because people have not been using them yet.Guns are much easier to obtain and deploy than an effective chemical weapon. We're not talking about what someone MIGHT do, the issue is what people WILL do, what's EASY for them to do. About REASONABLE threat assessments.
Further, if you're so gung ho bout the second amendment, why isn't chemical weapon equally protected?
Let me asks you all this. If you were a criminal which place would you be more likely to break in somewhere where you KNEW there was a good chance of other people having guns OR some place that you knew it was very UNLIKELY due to strict laws?

I guess hotels need to install metal detectors like the airport now.Only if enforceable. There should never be gun free zones where you don't have control of the borders. Let me use some examples:
A government building: Yes! Armed security is common here and entry points are controlled.
A city: No! You don't control the borders, there is no one preventing entry and no screening of those entering.
A country: Yes! You can control your borders and screen those entering.
A state: No! There are no mandatory and universal stops at state borders, nor state border security.
A college campus: Maybe! If you can strictly control access and have armed security, than sure. If you lack control of the area though, no.
A college building: Yes! You can easily control and screen people entering.
Basically the goal is to never have it so that a criminal can bring in a gun (at least without considerable effort and risk of being caught) into an area where law abiding citizens are disarmed.
Huh?Maybe because at the time they were not an issue or because people have not been using them yet.
But don't these people (like the mentally ill) have a constitutional right to protect themselves?Actually, there are laws forbidding several groups of people from having LEGAL access to guns (including the mentally ill, by the way. ( assuming of course that it is known and documented).

Yeah, this. Most burglaries don't actually occur at night - they happen during the day, when people aren't home. Most burglars want to avoid physical conflict, if at all possible.The place where nobody was home.
