Well, you’re sidestepping the practical questions I’ve asked you. Your right to do so. But the “good luck with thats” and “get over its” don’t play with anyone but the simple minded.

The so-called “danger of living in a big city” is overstated. People get killed everywhere. They also get taken advantage of everywhere. And the people who live in small towns are just as ungodly as those in the cities — but many of them are too self-righteous to know it.

God has a special place in his heart for cities, because the poor and disadvantaged are often safer there. You notice he didn’t command us to “dwindle and move to the sticks.” He told us to multiply. That means cities.

He has even compared himself to a fortified city.

And that thing coming down from the sky at the end times will not be a patch of land or a suburb. It will be a city, built for us by God.

I hope you’re there when it comes down from heaven. I’ll show you how to navigate the subways.

Obviously, you have no comprehension whatsoever of Liberty and zero ambition to defend yourself or your freedom. May your chains rest lightly. You are no conservative.

Let me take a swing at the pinata, eh?

Try this on for size:

"An armed society is a polite society"

In every jurisdiction, where gun ownership has gone UP, crime has gone DOWN.

You might spend some time reading what John Lott of the University of Chicago researched on that very subject.

One Freeper I cannot remember right now had it right in his tagline 'The Second Amendment is the 'reboot' button for our Republic', and no words could be more true. The Second Amendment is not only intended for the purpose of We The People being able to defend ourselves, it is intended (primarily as I see it) to insure that the American people are NEVER placed in the position where they are unable to take up arms and change their government if it gets out of hand like his imperial majesty King George III's did.

Now as for your comment:

And that thing coming down from the sky at the end times will not be a patch of land or a suburb. It will be a city, built for us by God.

That will indeed happen, and I expect to live long enough to actually see it come to pass.

I hope you’re there when it comes down from heaven. I’ll show you how to navigate the subways.

Sounds a bit presumptuous to me. Hope you didn't mean that the way it sounded.

Even though I don't quite understand what you are talking about here, I will say this. God also gave us laws to live by, you know morals, something that the liberals in charge of big cities totally disregard. You cannot equate the need to prohibit the 2nd amendment with population density. The problem is the value system that permiates big cities, which are often run by liberals, not he 2nd amemdment.

Silly, you've picked a good screen handle.

The cause of violence in NY City is the same as everywhere else: Departure from our Biblical Christian foundation. The constitutions of the first thirteen states guaranteed "Protestant Christian Government" to all of their citizens, and when that was allowed to be undermined by socialist tampering with those principles, our society began to crumble.

Guns have never promoted violence; they prevent it. Get over it soon, OK?

I think you’re either ill informed, or simply being cagey about your knowledge regarding the Second Amendment. There is nothing about the Second Amendment that is contrary to common sense.

Beating our breast as a Christian today, are we?
