Some thoughts on guns from Harrison Ford in "Witness", and Allan Ladd in "Shane" & John Stossel, on CNN. I owned a Mossberg 12 gauge pump. Nice gun.

Stossel makes sense. He uses history and logic and backs his case up with real statistics. The writers of the second amendment did not mean a pea shooter for scaring off rodents; the modern equivalent of what they were using would be an M-16. It was a weapon for the people to defend themselves against a tyrannical government.
Not that I would ever want to shoot a person! I believe I have a good handle on right and wrong.
As far as home intruders... if the bad guys knew that I had a gun and would not be an easy victim, how likely is it that they would pick me or my family for a home invasion?
I cannot find a good biblical precedent for making Christians so vulnerable, or even the idea of pacifism, which I think is offensive. It is our duty to defend the innocent, and take a responsible stand against wrongdoers.
Good words Craver. I agree with you.
Sometimes I thing we were twins separated at birth. :-)
