I do not WANT to shoot anyone! Nor do I sit around dreaming up reasons to shoot others. You want my stuff, fine come and take it. It is all insured and my stuff is not worth a human life. There are very few reasons I would ever shoot another person, but there are three at this time. My wife, my son and myself. I will not allow others to harm my wife and son. Furthermore, if I am killed I can no longer take care of them. So, If you feel you have no reason for a gun, fine. Me having a gun has nothing to do with me living peaceably with all men. I do live peaceably. I fully respect your personal position so long as you do not feel the need to press it on me. I look to the Bible as a guide also.
Lets look at some more Biblical quotes. I'm not advocating any aprticular
action, just showing some contrast.
"If the thief is found breaking in, and he is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt for his bloodshed. If the sun has risen on him, there shall be guilt for his bloodshed. He should make full restitution; if he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft" (Exodus 22: 2-3.)
Luke 22:36; "Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
