Not according to the bible. Elisha called bears to maul kids for making fun of his bald head.

So this reminds me of when I was taking my CCW class and going over hypotheticals and legal ramifications.
One scenario was you see a kid opening your fridge would you shoot the kid. Now there was a church group there that was also taking the class with us and a few of them raised their hands and one was called.
His answer was yes.
My group I was with all looked at each other and went WTF and just shook our heads, raised our hands and went of freaking course not because morally it would be soooo wrong even if it was legally okay.

I’m also from Texas and can count the number of responsible gun owners with one hand. I understand why we need to be armed; still there are a lot of people that shouldn’t. Your story reminds of that shooting that happened at a church that happen to have the good guy with a gun ^tm^. There was some talk about allowing some people to be armed at the church I was going to with my parents at the time. Some members and the pastor went to some event with a lawyer talking about some stuff around it and I joined out of curiosity. The overall meeting was pretty mehh, but there was a nice tangent about how much you can drink and still have your gun and ammo. Some cop that was in attendance tried to call them stupid, but they pushed back that its okay if you only drink such percent drink per hour or remove the receiver. Not a great look for the cream of the crop.

I don’t. Why?
Seleni@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Because in America things like the Tulsa Race Massacre happen a fair bit, and the cops either stand by or join in, so you have to be able to defend you and yours.
Remember folks, armed minorities are harder to oppress.

That’s why we hear of all those cases were ICE agents are shot by the people they bully. Oh wait… we don’t.

Because we need to be able to defend ourselves and our communities from fascism and others who want to oppress us. Easier said than done of course.

Unfortunately the definition of fascism varies depending on who you’re talking to. There are an astounding number of people in this country who think that allowing abortion or gender affirming care are a form of fascism. And they think it’s alright to use guns to fight what they perceive as fascism.

Have you recently watched the news? Looks like it’s not working.
