With the Pacific Trade Partnership, I believe that they are working on a "Global Police"..
That entire "Strong Cities United" deal, just scares the shit out of me. So, are we moving back to 1st Testament days? What about all of us that choose to live in the smaller communities?

The UN is already actively involved in communities now. That's why our membership in the UN is dangerous.

Well technically if a person were trying to emulate Christ, wouldn't they eschew firearms altogether?
I seem to recall some passage about "Living by the sword..." etc. But, hey, maybe that was just a literal thing and He meant just swords.

This is getting ridiculous.
Should people who have a doctor shut up about disease control or sanitation?
Don't you realize how stupid that sounds?

Easy for Jesus to do when dad is always watching ready to smote bad actors.

What about firearms for hunting?

If any uproar, it would come from left if a Muslim was denied a gun license.

I think it depends on the reason why they have a gun. If it's for hunting, I don't think Jesus would care one way or the other. For protection, I'm not sure, though I would suspect that Jesus might lean away from the weapons.
I'm pretty confident that though Jesus never owned a weapon himself (at least, I don't think he did), he didn't have a problem with HAVING them, more so with their usage especially if using them was as a show of force or to coerce or hurt others.
