Gun Control


I’m not aware of anybody who thinks private ownership of nuclear warheads is protected by the Second Amendment. I also don’t know of anyone who wants to ban antique smooth-bore muskets. That’s probably because a single nuclear detonation in a major city could kill hundreds of thousands of people. A musket, not so much. So while the ongoing shouting match about gun control is often presented by gun control opponents as an unprecedented, all-out attack on the Second Amendment, the truth is we all understand and accept that the average citizen of the United States should not in fact have the right to bear any and all kinds of weaponry indiscriminately.

Gun control is really just a part of broader weapons regulations that we already have. It boils down to a question of how many people can you kill with a given weapon, and how quickly and easily. If we frame the discussion like that, I think and hope we’ll get a very different kind of debate, especially from those who declare themselves ‘Pro-Life.’ But I’m not going to hold my breath.

  1. Hey Morgan, are you still not holding your breath...lol. We understand and agree on a few things like preserving & respecting life that God has ordained. That nobody should be given the right or allow murder to take place, but it happens, from the top down from the bottom up. But soon, when Jesus returns and after that great horrible battle, we will all be surely free from death, standing in His glory, amen...In the meantime we must not give up, stay in the fight to stay alive, for our self, our family & friends, our country & for God.
