Oh yeah, last but not least the 2nd Amendment, the Amendment that protects all Amendments.

Guns no matter what they are, look like, capacity, optics, lasers, etc. should all be legal.

I don’t like that the liberals have found ways to circumvent our constitution with laws that only take away the freedoms of law-abiding citizens and has nothing to do with reducing crime or protecting kids or any of that.

Guns are tools for hunting and killing human beings that is the reality. I would rather have an efficient tool for doing so than a blunderbuss or flintlock when the need arose for me to kill a deer or a tyrannical government or a criminal intent on doing me or my family harm. The 2nd Amendment isn’t about hunting AT ALL though. Its about killing people that threaten the freedom as laid out by our forefathers in the Bill of Rights/Constitution and people that intend on harming your family or yourself. That is the reality and that’s what happened during our Revolutionary war, people got shot and killed and that is what gave birth to our nation. Do people think we just got here by the good will and faith of the British government at the time? I didn’t think so. So this nonsense about “assault rifles” is hogwash, and capacity bans, etc. They are “defense rifles”. First off they aren’t fully automatic and secondly no one is going on the offense except for deranged lunatics that make up maybe .001% of the population.

Actually that is partly the reason why the British eventually backed off of the colonies (and partly why the independence movement of India later succeeded). Being still informed by the gospel, rather than scorch earth and utterly devastate a huge swath of humanity, they ceded their war. They were not the most dogged enemy that is possible to face.

It is the ethic of the 1st Amendment when applied to faith (that is a potpourri of provisions, so I point out faith) that brings the blessings that make it possible to even carry out the rest of the rights promised by the Constitution and popularly believed to be inalienable. Guns are only implements of destruction. They cannot create anything new. Once resources are gone a gun will not put them back into place. Only God can do that.

By asking too much, one gets nothing.
