I literally sarcastically showed how you were committing a fallacy and you doubled down on it.
To be fair everyone can only see the speck in their brothers eye and not the log in their own eye.

Post #45Give it 200 years and watch what happens to at least 3 countries where the population don't have guns.

Re: Christians and Guns
Post #46You'll need to look back, no chance for you to look forward.
Why do some people dream about killing their own country's soldiers or citizens? That seems to be the case in parts of America.
But gun laws will not change on the USA.

Re: Christians and Guns
Post #47Would this count?:
"Mao's first act after gaining complete control of China in 1949 was to take away all guns from the population. It was a policy he began in 1935 as he took over each rural province. Anyone found with a gun post-confiscation was executed."
Is there any chance that you are the one dreaming about why gun owners choose to be gun owners? You're too intelligent (I think) to actually think that normal Americans dream about killing their own soldiers and citizens. So I'm left wondering why you make this illogical emotional argument about why gun owners are gun owners in parts of America.Why do some people dream about killing their own country's soldiers or citizens? That seems to be the case in parts of America.
What is going to stop the changes that are happening?But gun laws will not change on the USA.
These are the gun control laws passed in 2022

Why do you think that your first sentence about looking back was the only correct one in this reply? Surely your outlook on humans that live in America is not as bad as you make it seem, or is it? I understand that you likely don't follow gun control laws passed in America, so I can understand that slip, but dreaming of killing their own soldiers and citizens... Surely you don't actually think this?!?
You can give a man a fish and he will be fed for a day, or you can teach a man to pray for fish and he will starve to death.
I blame man for codifying those rules into a book which allowed superstitious people to perpetuate a barbaric practice. Rules that must be followed or face an invisible beings wrath. - KenRU

Re: Christians and Guns
Post #48You need to take more notice of your media, which often reports situations where US citizens insist that their guns are necessary in case they should need to make a stand against their authorities, government etc.Clownboat wrote: ↑Wed Jan 03, 2024 4:46 pmWould this count?:

So just as I have also written Mao was looking forwards, not backwards. You need to look forwards.

Nothing there..... Not one law which could could and actually show in print on s post.
So you didn't know that there is talk about civil war if the next election doesn't suit some people?Why do you think that your first sentence about looking back was the only correct one in this reply? Surely your outlook on humans that live in America is not as bad as you make it seem, or is it?

I have seen a report on BBC that some church pastors have been handing out body armour to excited congregations.
There are more guns in the USA than humans, and mostly anybody can obtain a gun, and before you try to tell me about criminal conviction bars etc may I remind you that there are some gun fairs and many districts which really don't bother with such laws.
Even machine guns are available of you've got enough cash .........

Re: Christians and Guns
Post #49You have moved the goal posts and perhaps should watch less media.
First your claim was that some Americans dream about killing their own countries soldiers and citizens. You have now changed your claim to be one of having the ability to stand against authorities.
Surely care about being credible?
Perhaps you will try this sentence again? It's nonsensical currently.Nothing there..... Not one law which could could and actually show in print on s post.
You think you can impress me with 'talk'? Talk is cheap. Surely you know this, but I believe your agenda is anti gun and you have shown that you will move the goal posts and make emotional arguments (dream of killing) to fit your anti gun narrative. So if the talk fits, like there will be civil war, I expect you to take it as fact because it's something you want to believe.So you didn't know that there is talk about civil war if the next election doesn't suit some people?
Do you honestly think this is a common occurrence worth discussing? That churches are handing out body armor? Or is it just talk that fits your narrative? I ask because no Christians I know have been offered any body armor nor are they talking about killing their fellow citizens nor having a civil war.I have seen a report on BBC that some church pastors have been handing out body armour to excited congregations.
This sentence is accurate. What is your point besides that you really hate guns?There are more guns in the USA than humans, and mostly anybody can obtain a gun, and before you try to tell me about criminal conviction bars etc may I remind you that there are some gun fairs and many districts which really don't bother with such laws.
Thank you for making another accurate statement. Is there a question for me?Even machine guns are available of you've got enough cash .........

Italian? Greek?
Oh dear........they are Americans!
Well I sure can't impress you with facts.You think you can impress me with 'talk'?
Well you can't be impressed with talk, you tell is. Maybe you should take more interest in what's being reported?Do you honestly think this is a common occurrence worth discussing? That churches are handing out body armor? Or is it just talk that fits your narrative? I ask because no Christians I know have been offered any body armor nor are they talking about killing their fellow citizens nor having a civil war.
Comprehension much?This sentence is accurate. What is your point besides that you really hate guns?
Now where have I said that I hate guns?
I may know more about them than you think, as well.
No need. You have already shown me that you know very little about the situation on the USA about guns.Thank you for making another accurate statement. Is there a question for me?
