Do you call yourself a Christian? If so, can you point out to me where Jesus told His followers to get laws passed to prevent sin?

You apparently have not read the complete New Testament.

Just look for the scripture where Jesus said, and I paraphrase, "I came not to destroy the law, but to fullful the law" and also, "Do not change the law one jot or tittle".

He was referring to the Old Testament, you remember that right?

The old Testament that included laws for just about everything, laws that were meant for a Government to enforce, even though Jesus was referring to his goal of changing Men's hearts, he surely meant, as well, that the laws of our land should reflect the laws in the Old Testament that he came to enforce in the hearts of Men.

Do you feel otherwise?

According to Paul (who should know), we are NO LONGER UNDER THE LAW or bound by it. We are under God’s GRACE as expressed by Christ’s death on the cross AND HIS RESURRECTION, giving us victory over not only sin and the LAW (by His sacrifice) but over DEATH ITSELF. Yes, there are things we should not do, as Christians, it’s true. But our relationship to the law of the Old Testament has changed completely.

As you apparently have not either. The Jesus Christ I read about in the New Testament was a man of peace who sought to persuade people by example not force. You are not any different than the radical animals who call themselves Muslim who have declared war on the US.

You're apparently OK with having other people do your killing for you. Are you willing to do it yourself? Are you willing to tie a bomb around your waist, go into a place where drugs are being dealt, and set it off? Hey, you'll maybe kill a drug dealer or two and many users. It's a big win, right?
