You know as much about the Bible as you do politics. Not much

Do you, as a Christian, think guns are the solution? This is a matter of faith for me. I put my faith in the Lord not guns.
The solution for stopping the large number of homicides and mass killings in America, far more than in other developed countries. The recommendation for the parkland HS in Florida is to arm the teachers. I think that's ridiculous. It only increases the gun mania in America.The solution for what?
Again, my list of guns - a semi-automatic pistol, a revolver, a pump shotgun, a double barrel shotgun, a .22 semi-automatic rifle, and a 270 semi-automatic rifle. I am planning on picking up a semi-automatic shotgun.
Which ones should I not be able to own? Which ones do you believe a Christian should not own? Why?
I went hunting with the rifles (now I go to the range).
I enjoy going to the indoor range down the road with my wife....that is what I use the pistols for.
The pump shotgun was originally for Turkey hunting. My son used it when he first joined the High School skeet team. Then he got a double barrel but we are looking at a semi-automatic Remington. He is not as fond of the double barrel as he thought and the pump is one more movement.
How is this putting faith in guns?????
I believe that Heaven will be far greater than anything we can imagine. Consider seeing Christ face to face and knowing Him as He knows us. It will be magnificent and we shouldn't limit God by thinking just what it will entail.So you do not believe that there will be a wall around Heaven?
Medicare and medicare supplements.Do you have any insurance policies?
What did Jesus do when Peter used it to cut off the soldier's ear? Jesus is a Lord of love not violence.In what lord? Maybe the one who said if you have no sword to sell your garment and buy one [Luke 22:36]? If you ain't got a sword, then start auctioning your Hanes or Fruit of the Looms.
But what does that have to do with my guns?The solution for stopping the large number of homicides and mass killings in America, far more than in other developed countries.

I didn't say it did if you never plan to use them to kill people.But what does that have to do with my guns?
You are arguing against gun ownership, and asserting it may indicate a lack of faith. That doesn't make sense to me.
Can you explain?

Auto? Home owner? etc...Medicare and medicare supplements.
Tell about your finances.Auto? Home owner? etc...
My point: If we have insurance who are we trusting?Tell about your finances.
The insurance companies who I believe are one of the culprits for having such high priced medical care. They need to be reined in.My point: If we have insurance who are we trusting?

It's non-violent to chase merchants out of the temple with a whip and knock over their tables with money and animals? And I presume you mean the high priest's slave, whose right ear was cut off by Peter's sword. And Jesus made it clear they are not there to fight an earthly flesh&blood battle. If I looked at this truly objectively, I would be inclined to say Jesus can't make up his mind on that point. Or maybe we can use a whip, but only own a sword.
Anyway, I guess that slave was included in another statement of Jesus: "He who has ears, let him hear."
Greed is what capitalism is driven by. Remember the movie "Wall Street?"The Green God - Greed.
