Okay, sorry Geff, I was wrong. I admitt, I didn't know the difference between a semi-automatic vs. fully-automatic. I ought to do more research into this issue.

I see that rather than honest debate we have one of Satan's liars to post for carrying the means to kill.

That works against the pro-gun argument. How sad that you need to go to this length to support your evil practice.

As for "semi-auto" or "automatic" guns - Someone really needs to study the technical engineering of these weapons before they "jump the gun."

2. you couldn't purchase a fully-automatic machine gun at your local gunshop.

2. Perhaps you should research "semi-automatic" .... ???

BTW
"And in its 2011 annual report to investors, Smith & Wesson Holding Company noted that there was a $489 million domestic, non-military market for “modern sporting rifles,” a euphemism for auto-loading, assault-style rifles. Modern sporting rifles are perhaps the fastest-growing segment of the domestic long gun industry."

Also;
"Take the AR-15, the auto-loading rifle that Adam Lanza used at Sandy Hook. The AR-15 is the civilian equivalent of the military M-16 assault rifle. It’s one of the most popular assault-style rifles on the market today."

Since you stated in your second comment that other countries have American like gun laws and don't have the same issues, you're acknowledging that the right to bear arms isn't the issue

The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

What part of "shall not be infringed" do you not understand?

They have absolutely NOTHING to do with the right to bear arms, criminals DON'T obey laws that is why they are called criminals.

1. to solutions the fallacy of your thinking is that guns is the problem

Not long ago, someone broke into the neighbor's garage. Obviously America has fallen into national thievery.

Apparently their are some "Christians" on this thread who are like-minded with the muslims in this ideology???

Sandy Hook declares much more loudly that Guns are not right nor a right in America.

Only Americans can prevent the massacres which are all to prevalent in their society on a daily basis.

How to do this is to restore moral rights above dated constitutional statements.

What would Christ do. Or Paul , would they carry guns?

Actually, America doesn't have the highest

In the mean time, here is how other nations have cut the gun crime rate and massacre sequence.
Quote;
Other countries all over the world play the same video games and have the same mental health problems as the United States, but manage to avoid a sky-high gun murder rate and frequent public shooting massacres.

The differences are due, in part, to the way that the different countries regulate gun ownership.

Here's how several other prosperous nations deal with the issue:"

Luke 22:36 says provide yourself with an up to date weapon

You really shouldn't try to excuse the constant daily massacre of school children and others by suggesting the Bible supports not being able to defend yourself

Christ suggested that the disciples should carry some swords at a time and in a land when police, justice and defence were not yet properly established in that ancient society.

If Justice and police are not established in your "primitive" country then lynch mob justice will be an option for you.

If however you have managed to progress to a modern nation with justice, police and social organisation perhaps it is time to loose the primitive and the lynch mob mind set.
