Pro 2nd Amendment
The Bible gives a good point
on why weapons are not banned. Genesis 9:5-6 (KJV) "And surely your blood
of your lives will I require; at the hand of a man; at the hand of every man's
brother will I require the life of man. Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man
shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made man." (Nelson, 2001)
No one deserve to be gunned down or murdered, especially innocent people
like children or adults that didn't do anything to deserve it. The question I
am wondering is why would anyone want to ban weapons from innocent people just
because innocent people have died from gun wounds from a criminal? We want to
stop the crime not add to the crime because it's the innocent
people who are the one's that's trying to defend themselves and
everyone who is in harm's way too. This leads to another question that I have
on strict gun laws. Why must people who are licensed to own a weapon have to go
through background checks? The criminals who already have weapons are
encouraged to go on more shooting heists while the innocent people couldn't do
anything to stop the crime because of the gun control laws. We have to be smart
since people have already bought guns at the gun stores before the strict gun
law was enforced.
Another
thing to think about is the people who already have guns; these are the
criminals I'm referring to now. What these slick criminals can do is go on
shooting heists for their friends and that's what put innocent
people in further danger. Since there are insane people, the level of
insanity is at an all time high because that allows them to shoot up people in
different schools and other public places. Exodus 22:2-3 (KJV) "If a thief
be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed
for him. If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him: for
he should make full restitution: if he have nothing then he shall be sold for
theft." (Nelson, 2001) I feel that the punishment should always fit the
crime. You are not going to charge a person for the same
crime to someone who tee-pees a house to someone who murdered someone.
If you do then something is wrong with the justice system. Let the
punishment be just and fair so the people can feel safe in their environment.
Lastly,
the people whose job are to protect us like police officers and their
K-9's, guards, and military; it's their job. Security being stronger in public
and private properties must be stronger. I feel that the stronger the security
is then the safer the environment will be. Luke 10:30-37 (KJV) "And Jesus
answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell
among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and
departed, leaving him half dead. And by chance there came down a certain Priest
that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. And likewise a
Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the
other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, and came where he was:
and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, And he went to him, and bound up
his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought
him to an inn and took care of him. And on the morrow when he departed, he took
out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him;
and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. Which
now of these three, thinkest thou, was the neighbour unto him that fell among
the thieves? And he said, He that shewed him mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto
him, Go, and do thou likewise." (Nelson, 2001) Being a Samaritan is
doing all you can to protect people from harm's way as well as protecting
yourself. Protecting people from harm's way is by using anything necessary
whether it's self-defense or using a weapon against trespassers coming on
private property as well as public property. Don't deny anyone the 2nd
amendment rights "to bear arms."
