That's ok, till a few months ago I thought they still wore dress greens......Hi CWB,
uh-oh, I'm giving away my age aren't I?
God bless you.
In Christ, Ted
I can't ever recall hearing an individual weapon called a firearm during my time in the Army and I served on several inter-service teams.
Please post the Biblical passages that support your position verbatim. Thank you.That question before was just a 'reminder' to others that we don't count on the 1st nor the 2nd Amendments, nor on man's laws,
but on God.
Because someone had just suggested that you should think like they do because they 'protected' the 1st Amendment for you , or something like that.
OR, are you obligated to them, because they protected(if they did) your 1st Amendment Rights or anything at all, actually ?
(I don't think you nor we are obligated to them, as their values are totally different,
but I wanted to verify, with a positive expectation)
Subdue? As we understand the word?Because we are under commandment to "subdue" the earth (which Christ did not cancel). Genesis 1:28
No, firearm is a designation that I prefer over weapon to differentiate a device that discharges a round verses holding a club in your hand. I use firearm to also ensure that I am including all such weapons. A lot of folks, if you say 'gun', think of just pistols and smaller firearms, but don't consider it the proper term for rifles or semi-auto or auto loading weapons. So, I choose to use firearm which, as I say, encompasses any weapon that discharges any type of round or shot.
God bless you.
In Christ, Ted
I think you missed my point entirely. Bolo badge for you.
Hi rhamiel,
Timothy McVeigh did it with fertilizer. I rather imagine that if our government were ever to become tyrannical in nature, although as has been pointed out that's a pretty far fetched possibility with the form of government that we have, bombs would work much better and efficiently than firearms.
I don't have to shoot the guns to see clearly what they do when they are used to kill people.You did not answer the question....or maybe you just did.....

Yes, and that is the most expensive rifle ever put in the hands of an enlisted man in the US Military! Standard price 25 years ago was $1000. Not sure about the price in the early 1950s, when they were used in the Korean War. Used by some in the Vietnam War, as seen in your clip.I just googled it and apparently it was 'this is my rifle, this is my gun'.
To answer the OP: Because lives are fleeting, while a foundation of recognized rights is for the ages.
Rights trump lives. Otherwise, rights wouldn't be worth defending with lives.
