I meant public policy, not individual responsibility.1. Store guns safely at home, especially in a home where there are children.
2. Assess and listen to others, who give warning signs that they are about to commit a crime. Never take comments about committing a crime lightly lightly. In the case of the Marjory, Stoneman, Douglas… Not sure if I’m remembering the name correctly, mass shooting, there were multiple warning signs, and multiple reports that the particular person who committed the violence was going to do so. They were all ignored.
3. Teach your children about the sanctity of life. That used to be a subject that was not off-limits in our schools. Instead of teaching them about the sanctity of life, we now teach them that so-and-so has two mommies and it’s perfectly normal, or today I’m identifying as a boy, even though I’m a girl, and that’s perfectly normal.
4. Go to a gun range and learn to shoot a gun if you possess one.
5. Do not be surprised by the rise in lawlessness, because Jesus told us this would happen. Do not try and sweep it under the carpet. Jesus told us not to murder, he did not tell us not to protect ourselves on our families when threatened. You can stop somebody bent on killing you or your family far more effectively with a gun.
Is because the individual responsibility is so lacking that you deem the public policy necessary. I respectfully agree to disagree on this subject. I clearly am not going to change your mind and you’re not going to change mine.I meant public policy, not individual responsibility.
Wanting to ban guns is the same liberal logic and agenda.What's your point? Nobody on this forum is blaming the gun.
Criminals and murderers can purchase guns illegally, or steal guns from legal gun owners. The majority of gun crimes are done by criminals who get hold of firearms illegally. So making more gun laws does not stop criminals who do not follow the law anyway.Giving a potential murderer the chance to possess a highly dangerous weapon like a gun is worse than being liberal. That said, I don't consider myself liberal at all. Wouldn't a liberal be a person who supports gun rights?
Yes. Some people are not responsible enough to possess a firearm. For everybody's safety, there should be reasonable limits on what lethal force an individual can possess. That's a question of public policy.Is because the individual responsibility is so lacking that you deem the public policy necessary. I respectfully agree to disagree on this subject.

I haven't advocated banning guns. I don't think anybody else on the forum has said they want to ban guns.Wanting to ban guns is the same liberal logic and agenda.
Godbehonored doesn’t want any guns… Unless in times of war. The way I read that… That means banning guns.I haven't advocated banning guns. I don't think anybody else on the forum has said they want to ban guns.
So, where do you draw the line? Some people are not responsible enough to raise children either. But unless you live in Communist, China, nobody tells you how many children you’re allowed to have, even if you are an irresponsible person who doesn’t raise them properly and doesn’t provide for them. Do you see the connection? Leftists/liberals do not use the brain that God gave them to think, and reason things out. They do not connect the fact that the more so-called writes the government has, the less rights the average citizen has. And that includes being able to own a firearm in order to defend oneself from criminals.Yes. Some people are not responsible enough to possess a firearm.

Surely that's not controversial?

Not sure of the process in the US but in the UK if social services find abuse or neglect, then children will be removed from their parents for their own safety and wellbeing.So, where do you draw the line?

Part of a functioning government's role is to preserve freedom. Freedom for children to go to school without fear of being murdered included. Most countries manage this, but the USA does not.It’s very simple… The more rights that the government has the less rights the average citizen has, whether it comes to protecting themselves from violent crime, believing in and adhering to the sanctity of life, and worshiping corporately in a church. It’s all connected.
If there were armed guards, and every school and teachers were allowed to carry, children would have no fear of going to school and being murderedPart of a functioning government's role is to preserve freedom.

Do you really believe that?If there were armed guards, and every school and teachers were allowed to carry, children would have no fear of going to school and being murdered
And that’s the problem… People now look to the government for everything… Money, protection, the very things which we, as responsible Christians, should be doing for ourselves. I am not saying that there are some people who do not need help because they are disabled, but there are many disabled people who work. I am also saying that the government has no business, absolutely no business, regulating, who does who does not have the right as a law, abiding Citizen, to have a firearm. You completely missed my point, and I am finished with this discussion. As I said… It is a very simple concept… Communism robs people of their rights. Socialism robs people of their rights… Their God-given rights. If you are a Christian, and you believe in the sanctity of life, do you think Roe versus Wade should have been overturned? If you do, then you believe that the government overstepped its reach by instituting that law, and carrying it out. I praise God for the day it was overturned, at least in part. May God have mercy on the United States of America for turning so far away from Him. Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, which is exactly what is happening today in this country and around the world.Part of a functioning government's role is to preserve freedom.
