Guns in Church
Care to guess what inspires my question?
Should the law allow churches to allow almost anybody to bring guns into church?
If the law does not permit it a church can "blame" the law if it wants to forbid it
and avoid resposibility for its action. Should that right be denied churches of
thusly avoiding that responsibility?

Re: Guns in Church
I think guns should be allowed everywhere, especially in bars.

Re: Guns in Church
Why would a Christian need a weapon?
1Tim1:15-17
Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever.Amen.

Oh, and some fathers like to have a rifle to go out huntin' fer sum deer tuh put sum dinna' on da table for da family. X3
Also, since the daughter's gettin' older and needs a way to protect herself, and pepper spray is for wimps, she's gonna need a concealable revolver. And a speed-loader. [And a good Roundhouse Kick.] Reloading Revolver Ocelot-style is too inconvenient. I don't care how exhilarating it is to manually load each bullet. A speed-loader makes things a bit more convenient.
Pardon the bad joke.

I seem to remember a case where people were murdered in church by a gunman. Perhaps ask the families of those people the question.ultimate777 wrote:Care to guess what inspires my question?

I would rather die for Christ than perpetuate hate and violence, even if it meant my whole family. This life is nothing compared with eternity.
You can keep your weapons, I want nothing to do with that.

Re: Guns in Church
Actually, the argument would be that if people were allowed to bring guns into a church(or wherever), then it would lead to less violence. First, by a potential gunman knowing there may be people with guns, he may not go into that place. Second, if a gunman goes into a "gun free zone", and starts unloading his weapons, he pretty much can kill until he runs out of ammo. If there happens to be someone else with a gun there, he may be able to limit the number of people being shot. Thereby lessening the violence.Daniel wrote:
