We may not a christian choice in 08. Just write in Jesus. His authority is supreme anyway, just everyone don't know it yet. Reckon we need to tell em. I guess that would be street preaching right!!!! Col 1:18-2018 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.
I own a lot of guns, and I am a licensed firearms instructor. There are very strong reasons why guns are in the Bill of Rights: A man with a gun is a citizen... a man without a gun is a subject.Our founding fathers knew that the key to our freedom was first of all devotion to God... and the ownership of guns. Thomas Jefferson even stated that the American people should overthrow the government every 15 to 20 years, just to keep it honest.The Declaration of Independence even spells out for us that when a government no longer serves the people, the people have an [b]obligation[/b] to severe the ties between them and the government.That is why guns are in the Bill of Rights.Now, I do not think the average citizen needs to have an Uzi. There needs to be common sense.I dont care how Britain views our ownership of guns... England is on the verge of collapse because it is overrun with Muslims. We certainly have our problems with them being here too... but one of the main reasons they havent been as "active" here as there is because they know there are people like me who wont just sit back and take it.What happens when you have a "gun free" zone? Look at Virginia Tech. A gunman is free to roam the campus and shoot whoever he wants because no one can stop him.Certainly there are flaws in the system. This kid never should have been able to buy a gun... but it wasnt the law that failed... it was the goof-ball physchiatrists who didnt report his "condition" to the proper authorities.Sure, some fall thru the cracks... but I would rather have that happen (falling thru the cracks, I mean... not the murders) than to have a completely unarmed citizenry that is at the mercy of not only the criminals who will still have guns... but also a government who can then force it's will and abuse it's power.And by the way... there are more uses for guns than just killing people. I'm sick of hearing that. It's absolutely untrue.There are plenty of shooting sports. The Boy Scouts and 4-H have incredible shooting sports programs that involve shotguns, rifles, archery, etc. Around here there are different rodeo type events that involve horsemanship and shooting. It's a skill sport. There is nothing wrong with that.And lets not forget about hunting!Way more people are killed in America with automobiles than guns... ban the cars first.Krispy

Ugh. Back to "my country can beat up your country"?

But in England gun ownership is non-existant, and thats why their crime rate is astronomical.
No surprise, my dear sister... I disagree with you.Well, actually, I agree with this part:
The main reason there is a crime problem anywhere, is not the lack of gun ownership, but the lack of new hearts and a turning of people's minds by those with their ear, to point them to a Saviour from eternal condemnation.
England is our greatest friend.
Well Krispy, we disagree at last ;)Crime may be astronomical in Britain, but it's not gun related. The fact is, you need guns in America, because you have guns in America.The 'gunfree' zone proved my point. I've never heard of a UK school shooting, and all of our schools are gun-free!As for the constitution, regardless of the faith of the founding fathers - the American constitution is based on liberalism, which ultimately boils down to "every man can do what is right in his own eyes" - I studied the US Constitution. We escaped the rise of Liberalism in the UK because while France had the Revolution we had a Revival - but sadly, we've now caught up. Patriotism isn't wrong, but I don't know one truly Godly constitution or institution in World politics today."A man with a gun is a citizen, a man without a gun is a subject"Well, technically we're all subjects in the UK, because we have a Monarch - oh well.
I thought Canada was your best friend! Longest undefended border in the world, and all...
Well, technically we're all subjects in the UK, because we have a Monarch...
