So we can't go to church. Our kids can't go to school. We can't go to the supermarket, or the movies, or ride the subway. We can't even go to the hospital without fear of being shot and killed.
We are no longer living in a free country. We are prisoners.
Jesus said sell your cloak and buy a sword (although he also called for caution and not selling all clothes for a stockpile of swords). If any pastor is against a gun in the church, I'd question who that pastor truly serves.

Hyperbole. Your chances of being shot and killed in this nation are absolutely miniscule.
You're being ginned up just like you probably were with China Virus. Look at macro statistics, not emotional anecdotes.
And if you're worried, stop going into emotional hysterics. Learn how to defend yourself.

Hm. According to this, he had an arrest for sexual assault in October, and had a restraining order one of the victims had taken out on him May 31, and yet . . . and yet . . . he was still able to purchase ammo yesterday.

Oh for heaven's sake. Please understand context. He also said he who lives by the sword, dies by the sword. Ready for that?

...who's this 'we' you speak of?...
...if you want to stay home and hide under the bed, have at it...with that mindset, you're already a prisoner...
...we used to call people that think like that, 'scaredy-cats'...
I wonder how many days in the history of this nation, going back to the 1700s, that there WASN'T a murder?
Not many I'm sure, and it's likely true in almost all nations in the world.
Every one of these REINFORCES the reason that we have the 2nd Amendment.
How do you define murder? We used to have wars with the Indians, we had duels between two men who disagreed, we did have actual gun fights out in the wild west. But the 20th century wasn't filled with murders. If someone killed another person that would have been big NEWS because it didn't happen very often in the civilized parts of the country. The media were pretty active and would have picked up on it so don't say there were mass murders and we just didn't hear about it.
