So what are you arguing then? That only the mentally ill should be unable to defend themselves?

Then why did you, in the very beginning, ask me about if all citizens or just some should have guns? And why even ask these questions at all if you and I agree that guns shouldn't be limited?
You're telling me guns work better?
Seafood wishes we killed them with a assult weapon.
You've been pretty ruthless to seafood in your time hey?

--> @ShilaNah fam. Look at my definitions again...Cult is "a religion regarded as unorthodox or spurious."Christianity is a religion. Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses are cults, because they are unorthodox and spurious forms of a religion.They have firmly held beliefs that are unorthodox and spurious.I, personally, believe the known universe points directly to God. The realms of philosophy, empiricism, rationalism, epistemic logic, all end up at God, because He created the universe.
100% THIS.
time for me to move on.
And take a few writing classes and maybe read a grammar book because, apparently, the only person who understands what you wrote is you thus far.
-> @ShilaJob is a pretty scientific book. You should read it sometime.Also, the premise is "God created the world."Considering the crapshoot that is Evolution and the fact that many scientists are abandoning it in favor of a multiverse theory that is based on pure wishful thinking and not raw empiricism or even epistemic logic of some sort shows that there is just one premise that holds true.Something created us.Now, that something came down 2,000 years ago, walked among us, did miracles among us, fed us, taught us, and died and rose again for us.People literally walked and talked with God and decided to kill him. Just shows how pigheaded we humans really can be. Jesus never did anything that deserved death. In fact, he even defended the temple when people were trying to use it to line their pockets with money by taking advantage of people, something many Athiests wish Christians today would do with some televangelists.Now fast forward to today, and this God is still performing miracles, raising the dead, and appearing to people. And others are seeing Him in their after-death experiences.So yeah. The Bible is the only book that makes an iota of sense given the facts.
--> @ShilaYeah... but they haven't found the body though...In the eyewitness accounts, 500 people saw Jesus resurrect. There is no body, but record of a crucifixion, a tomb, and more.And furthermore, if you read the eyewitness accounts, you will find that Jesus said he gave his life up voluntarily and he would rise from the dead after three days and three nights.The only way to kill God is precisely if He lets you. And even moreso, just his human body died, not his spirit.Then he rises from the dead three days later. Like. Once again, we haven't found the body despite knowing the tomb, there being a historical record of his crucifixion, etc. Pretty powerful and convincing stuff if you ask me.Also, people to this day are still healed of things after prayer to God. That, to me, is the clincher. People are just miraculously healed of cancer, multiple sclerosis, and more. These are not just flukes, either. They are medically documented miracles. There are doctor's notes, x-rays, scans and more.One such book of these miracles is called Ten Healing Miracles by medical researcher H. Richard Casdorph. As the title suggests, he medically documents 10 miracles that happened after prayer to God. It's literally physical proof of miracles after prayer to God, written by a medical researcher with 100 published articles.
--> @ShilaYes he did appear to the 12 for 40 days and they watched him rise into heaven (Acts 1:1-8).But he also appeared to some on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35).And Paul said Jesus appeard to over 500 people, even telling his readers that many are still alive. (1 Corinthians 15:6). This is significant because, if Paul were making this up, he would not have said that, because Luke and others compiled eyewitness statements about Jesus's life from every source they could find. Surely these 500 people would have stated they never saw Jesus and therefore fact check Paul. But we see no such historical record existing.Paul, himself, is a particularly interesting witness of the Resurrection because he was becoming a prominent Jewish religious leader who gained fame and prominence from stoning Christians. He thought the entire Christian religion was a cult. His views we so passionate about it that he stoned Christians to death himself.To Paul, the only thing that actually changed his mind was literally seeing Jesus risen from the dead, and being blinded by it, so that he had to be guided to the God following man who healed him.Paul's life after being a Christian was no laughing matter. He was broke, imprisoned multiple times, shipwrecked, literally floating out to sea, beaten, and whipped for his testimony.Who would give up prominence, fame, and fortune to be poor, beaten, imprisoned, and shipwrecked? Only someone who truly believed what happened to him.
In various accounts of Paul, not one man calls him crazy or irrational, and there isn't any chance it is a mental disorder because of his coherence and intelligence and scholarliness.
Is there any evidence that bans on grenades, rocket launchers and c4 bombs save lives?Why aren't these included in the right to bear arms?
