Gun control has never made any sense to me. I don’t understand why anyone is willing to depend on Law Enforcement to protect them. This is not an insult to those in Law Enforcement; it is just a statement of a fact. Law Enforcement cannot walk around with each person 24/7. It’s just a numbers fact. Not only can they not be there, do you really want them to? Think about it, do you really want a police officer hanging out in your home all the time? Owning a firearm is like owning a fire extinguisher. I am not a firefighter because I own a fire extinguisher. If a fire breaks out I want to be able to fight that fire. Who knows maybe I can even put it out without involving the fire department. Even if I call the fire department, it takes them several minutes to respond. So if I have a small campfire that jumps the campfire ring, should I grab a fire extinguisher and put it out before the fire catches the whole woods on fire? Or should I leave it to the professionals and let it get out of control? A firearm is the same principle.
A bad guy breaks into my house. I used my firearm to stop the burglary and call the police. The situation has stopped and no one (except for the bad guy maybe) is hurt. When the police arrives in twelve minutes (if you are lucky its that quick) they arrest the bad guy.
So here is the thing, if you don’t believe in protecting yourself with a firearm, throw away your fire extinguisher, and first aid kit, all your tools. Leave all those jobs for the professionals!

You're comparing apples and oranges. The first aid kit and fire extinguisher aren't intended to inflict harm on another person. Also, where does theology or Yahweh fit into your argument? Just curious.
Actually the comparison is the same. A firearm is intended to protect life. The concept that it is intended to inflict harm is a straw man argument. Where does theology or Yahweh fit in? Jesus told his disciples if they did not own a sword to go buy one. Countless times the Bible speaks to protecting the innocent. Several times the Bible admonishes us to provide for our families. As well this blog is intended to discuss politics from a theological point of view. I have another blog for theology. Backgroundnoise. I believe there is link on this blog to it.
