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. 

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? 

We aren't perfect, but we have written standards in God's preservation of the 400+ year old King James Bible and our 200+ year old U. S. Constitution, by which we can righteously judge our attitudes and actions. We must judge ourselves and all things by those two Standards. While many attack, with the words of politics, false ideologies, and immorality, as they seek to demolish our Constitution (that was based in the Bible), yet, we'll surely be judged by God for our failure to obey His Bible. God calls us to a higher standard, not to lower our standards. He tells us to judge ourselves so that we not be found to be frauds, failures, nor false accusers of others.

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.

Look at the violence all around us all throughout the world. Look at all the violence among prisoners who are stored in prisons, away from society, worldwide! The violence and the production of weapons by convicts, worldwide, tells us that even in the most dire of circumstances, even with the most severe bans against weapons, people with violent intent are going to produce or find useable weapons. Throughout this world, the burgeoning violent prison populations, and the myriad of weapons they make within the prisons, cry out in protest against the self-justifying ignorance and despotism of the gun-control lobby.

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. 

What the anti-gun crowd refuses to acknowledge is that a morally and spiritually sick society is a self-destructive and violent society, even as the Bible talks about the interrelated immorality and violence of Sodom and Gomorrah. It is morally and spiritually sick individuals who need to take responsibility for their own actions and repent of their sins, as does our society as a whole. They need to stop blaming inanimate objects, such as guns, for the evil and violence that people perpetrate against each other. It is human attempts to make a God-less, secular society that drives our personal and collective sinful and selfish actions and attitudes. It is those despiritualized secularized thoughts, feelings, and passions  that turn us to lust for what others own and to hate and harm each other. May God help us all to repent of our evil thoughts and behaviors and that we return to His holy ways and His Bible, for we cannot save ourselves from ourselves.
