If were going off the bible, Jesus told his followers to carry swords, and if they could not afford one, to sell their cloaks to buy one.
Like I said though, what the anti-gun people forget is confiscating guns in this country would be a logistical nightmare (I could care less about the gun laws of other country's.)
You have not read the Bible because it does not say that, on the night of Jesus custody, one of the apostles use the sword of the detainers and took off his ear, and Jesus corrected him and said the verse I said before..
As reguards having a gun, its just more risk of having one nowadays, because peoples mentality is not trustworthy especially with domestic violence and so forth.
Supposing it was a 15 year old found breaking in for the first time over a peer group dare or out of desparate need because things at home are grim?
Mercy should have its place, but not if he gets shot dead by a gun owner who thinks its some criminal breaking in for a drug fix etc
