Lies About Guns and Gun Violence Laws
Historically, it is and always has been true, since Cain killed his brother Abel, that violent and irresponsible people, the insane, the emotionally disturbed, the ideologically hostile, and violence-oriented people have and always will choose weapons of planning or weapons of opportunity, whether those weapons are firearms, ropes, stones, sticks, spears, knives, swords, hands, feet, cars, trucks, bamboo flutes, spoons, forks, glass shards, pressure cookers, explosives, nylon stockings, leftover rebar, plastic bags, duct tape, drugs, old 2x4s, pipes, bricks, alcohol, fists, poisons, Molotov cocktails, or whatever they find available for their evil intents.
A weapon is anything that we use in hostile actions or threats against other people, even our verbal and nonverbal actions and attitudes. According to reporting from Gun Owners of America, on YouTube, there are numerous billionaires who are funding more than 98% of anti-gun activities, in the USA. Those same billionaires insist that they need armed guards to protect them against the violence of this world. While they deny the ineffectiveness of anti-gun laws that fail to deter crime, the billionaires use their wealth as a weapon against the rest of us who do not have as much earthly wealth. They assert that , because of their wealth, they are more entitled to be protected, yet, they deny us the right to defend ourselves. Their attempts to deny our natural rights to defend ourselves, at the expense of them being able to hire armed guards for their own protection, is utter moral hypocrisy.
The only way to stop the impending immediate violent action of a person who is determined to commit some violent act against us is to stop them immediately with counteractive violence, or throw a net over them. There is no law of any kind that has ever stopped a violent act from happening. There is no confiscation of weapons in any society that has eliminated violence from that society. History is filled with despots who stripped citizens and slaves, alike, of all weapons, and yet, enslaved people, throughout history, still rose up and overthrew their captors and their masters, which is how these United States of America came into being...or doesn't anyone remember history?Let us remember that humanity broke all of God's laws, first. Since then, all the human laws in the world have not deterred and cannot deter the violent or murderous intentions of any person who is determined to act with violence. Violent people find or make weapons to fit their intentions. What about the violence of thieves who steal the livelihoods and savings of hundreds, thousands, or millions of people? are those thefts not crimes of hatred and violence that cause despair, death, hunger, suicide, among the victims? All sins against other people are hateful, as are all human actions that break righteous human laws that comply with the laws of God. Every sin against others is an attack against the other person. If that is not hateful, then we are not speaking the same language, linguistically or morally. If we are not able to communicate in common terms and standards, then we are doomed to violate one another's natural God-given rights.
Laws were established to name and punish crimes, but laws have never stopped crime. In the beginning, God gave simple perfect laws, but humanity broke them by choice, including the choice to commit murder. Attempts to control violent human behavior by anti-gun laws date back for more than 100 years, in the USA. Those attempts at behavioral control have never been successful at regulating the violent sin-nature of humanity. ONLY by virtue of the moral and spiritual strength in the lives of individuals can we stop ourselves from committing violent acts.

Beware of Unconstitutional Anti-firearms Arguments: Political and Moral Panic Do NOT Justify Anti-firearm Oppression of Law-abiding Citizens
I recently watched a YouTube video from one of the USCCA lawyers, but, as of this writing, I cannot locate it again. I apologize. It was very informative about many legal technical questions raised by various anti-gun arguments.
The pea and nutshell legal
shuffling of the "Feinstein argument" belies the common sense of the
Second Amendment, especially with regard to any implication of the meaning of
"common use" restrictions, as there are no "common use" conditions stated in our
Constitution. The commonly understood cause for our Second Amendment was for common citizens to be able to protect themselves from any and every tyrannical government, including our own if it became tyrannical. That is clear in the ancillary writings of our Founding Fathers.
For decades, until my arthritis
got too bad, I carried a Sig Sauer P226 9mm semi-auto handgun on my person, for
protection. I, personally, used the OEM 15, as well as18 and 20, round
magazines in that gun. Those were my daily-carry ammo supply in my
self-protection firearm. I used both OEM and aftermarket magazines, commonly, in
that gun, all the time, on my person, as well as during practice at the range.
Even though I never had to fire even one round of ammunition from those gun and
magazine combinations in any actual defense of self or others, I was always
prepared to do so if it had been necessary. THAT was common use, in every reasonable and socially responsible sense of the word.
The illogical and
unconstitutional legal word salads made by anti-gun lawyers and politicians
deny the underlying truth of such common practical use by law-abiding citizens. Those legal
word salads attack the meaning of words instead of accepting the common usage
of words, and thereby, the anti-gun lawyers and politicians seek to make
language itself meaningless. Their attempts to destroy the meaning of common
language, confuse undiscerning courtrooms and citizens. Such verbiage, also, seeks to destroy
common understanding between members of society. By those obfuscations, the anti-gun crowd condemns our society to devolve into primitive combative anti-social behaviors, as we
see happening across our society, today.
It is an unholy thing that the Feinstein Argument sets up the requirement that common use of firearms should
mean that firearms owners and bearers must actually pull the trigger and actively shoot
other human beings as a requisite proof of common use of any politically or
"legally" questioned firearm configuration or design.
Feinstein's required shooting of human beings as proof of common use is an
immoral and an insane view of the purpose of our Constitution and our Second
Amendment rights.
We must remember that many of
those who are trying to disarm law-abiding citizens of the USA have delusions about the
function and availability of police forces, plus, many of the wealthier
anti-gun people are able to hire their own private personal armed guards or
armed services to protect themselves. But, those elitists do not want us, the
common citizens, to be able to arm or defend ourselves with weapons of our own
choosing, as was affirmed, stated, and implied in the SCOTUS Dred Scott
decision. The HULU Channel has a current program about serial killers that crisscross our continent, and the conclusion of the program states that our US justice system and policing are out of control, unable to protect U.S. citizens from harm and scarcely able to deal with a fraction of the violent crime attacks on our citizens. Honest appraisal of our criminal and justice systems must come to the logical conclusion that each and every citizen must be willing to arm ourselves and band together in defense of self, family, and our neighborhoods, IF we want to keep the local peace. The police departments are there to help pick up the pieces and begin the process of sorting out the legal implications of self-defense situations. There shall never be enough police to keep every evildoer from doing evil. Our communities must be self-policing, especially since FBI statistics have shown that 3/4 of all violent crimes against persons are NOT committed with firearms of any kind.
Many years ago, in the Dred Scott case, SCOTUS morally,
biblically, socially, and constitutionally misjudged the humanity of the man
incorrectly. Yet, the decision of the Court did correctly understand and apply
the Second Amendment in that case: for, as SCOTUS stated, IF they had
adjudicated him to be a human being, as they should have done, he would then have been wholly entitled
under our U.S. Constitution to all constitutional rights and would have been
recognized as having the natural right to keep and bear arms of any kind,
anywhere he chose, at any time, within these United States of America. The Sullivan Law of N.Y., the FDR establishment of anti-gun laws, and all anti-gun laws, ATF rulings, and Executive Orders have been in egregious violation of our Constitution. With that governmental infringement on our natural right to bear arms for self-defense against tyranny, our own government and self-serving anti-social groups have also infringed upon our rights to responsible free speech and freedom of religion.
Our Nation is sinking fast into
the oblivion of history. We must return to God's Word, the Bible, and to the
plain language of our US Constitution.
In Jesus Christ,

In English, God Keeps His Word In the King James Bible,, NOT In the Confusion of Hundreds of English Language Versions
Do we believe in God, AND that He keeps His Word, or not? Our true beliefs govern our actions, and our actions prove our beliefs. Our spiritual interest got us this far. Are we willing to seek out what God says about Himself and about His Word, within the whole Bible, comparing Scripture with Scripture?
William Chamberlin’s “Catalogue of English Bible
Translations”, 1991, lists hundreds of bible versions in the English language! …but God says that He keeps
His Word pure! Purity and confusion do not fit together. Do we want to find, know, and use God’s one true Bible in English, instead being
confused by hundreds of versions, transliterations, and paraphrases?
- Thus saith the LORD (116 times)
- The LORD said (216 times)
- God
said (46 times)
- Know
ye not (17 times)
- Ye
know not (16 times)
- Without
understanding (4 times)
- Will
of man (2 times)
- Mouth

- Within
me (20 times)
- God
hath said (3 times)
- LORD

- Than

- No

- Without

- My
word/s: especially Luke 9:26, 21:33! John 5:47, 8:31, 14:23, 15:7! (15 times)
- Word
of the LORD (258 times)
- Word
of God (49 times)
- Mind
of the LORD/Lord (3 times)
- Mind
of Christ (1 time)
- Every
word (7 times)
- Is
pure (5 times)
- The
LORD hath a controversy (3 times)
In English, after 400 years, God still keeps His pure Word in one Bible, the King James, not in the confusion of the hundreds of English versions.

God bless you to not forget God's warnings in Isaiah 66:1-2 and Revelation 22:18-19.
