People who have guns use them, sometimes when it is not necessary.
People who don't have guns, seek peaceful solutions.
People who have guns in this world are told what to do by people who don't have guns. Just look at our Government.
Your not supposed to trust your Government, but are always supposed to be questioning them. It's a check and balances.
Religion is supposed to be about your relationship to God. If you can't trust that, then that is your issue. |
Umm...sorry Demosthenes. If you think that the government doesn't have guns, you should probably wake up. The U.S. government has more weapons than any other country on the planet.... and to say that people that have guns in the U.S. are controlled by people that don't (the government) is totally ignorant. If the government didn't have guns, no one would do anything they say to. Government is the embodiment of force. Bottom-line: Government has guns, which is exactly the reason it can tell us what to do. Furthermore, the very purpose of our right to bear arms is to present a check on the government. The more guns the people have, the less relative power the government has. Plus, if people who don't have guns always seek peaceful solutions, then why does crime still exist in countries where gun ownership is outlawed. Take China for instance. You think crime is nonexistent there? Or are you ignorant enough to believe only illegal gun owners commit it? Your post is a bunch of total nonsense. Try presenting a coherent argument next time, without all of the blatantly wrong statements.
