21"When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe. 22But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted and divides up the spoils. Luke 11:21-22
36He said to them, "But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. Luke 22:36
And Christ using a weapon in defense of the Temple in John 2:15 So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple area, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.
You can't say Christ didn't tell His people to arm up to protect themselves

Of course!! The constitution is a god inspired document and says in there, we have a right to bear arms. Its not to blow our neighbor away but when everyone has a gun, the crime goes DOWN.
Further, the gun ownership by every American gives us the protection against our own Govt.
It IS wise to have a weapon to defend your family. CHRISTIANS yes!!!
Choose the right-

God expects me to use the brain He gave me - yes, I have a gun, a 357 and yes, I am an excellent shot. And I believe in gun control - being able to hit what I am aiming at!!

I am a christian, and I used to own a handgun until I had grandchildren that I couldn't hide anything from. Then I got rid of it. But I definitely think it's ok for protection.

Not currently. But I am not without ways to defend myself and my family. I don't think my God ever commanded us to be stupid and careless.
The teaching of "turn the other cheek" has cultural meaning that has nothing to do with allowing others to bully us or walk all over us.

I own several guns. I even hunt and kill things too. I have personal rule that you do not kill anything you do not eat. So humans are off limits -- no season. Besides i think they would be a salty.

I don't but it is actually cool to do what you feel you got to do. The second time Jesus sent out his disciples he told them to take a sword. It was for the same reason people would carry a gun.
May GOD richly bless you
