Criticized again for liking guns

[BergaminoCAV]

My girlfriend never liked guns untill I took her to my uncles property and she got to try out the Beretta 92FS, and the Armalite M15A2. She still doesnt like shooting shotguns.......yet

I was involved with IVCF for a time until some of the other attendies got into the habit of asking me about shooting sports and then tryin to argue with me about the "biblical stance against firearm ownership"

I remember reading something about Jesus telling his followers to buy a sword, if they didn't have the money then sell thier cloak and buy a sword.

And didn't Jesus chase the money changers out of the temple?

Nowhere have I read in the Bible that says you can't own weapons or defend yourself.

As a Protestant minister myself, I would be very interested in learning more about this "biblical stance against firearm ownership." I suspect it's a bit of a fabrication, since the Bible was written several hundred years before the invention of gunpowder and more than a thousand years before the invention of firearms.

I would be interested to more of this stance. My wife grew up as a Mennonite and heck we even go to a Mennonite church now. I'm pretty sure everyone there knows I'm not a pacifist.

Ive had people come in the store and yell at the other manager and I for selling "things that kill people", I ushaly give them my opinion and tell them guns dont kill people, people kill people, then we kick them out of the store.

'60s British playwrite Joe Orton was beaten to death with a claw hammer by his boyfriend (See the movie, "Prick Up Your Ears") I wonder if these imbeciles harangue the people in the tool corral at Home Depot?

I definatly get razed for my gun talk, my true friends know of my passion and accept it. Ignorate people take offense.

My wife hates my obesssion with guns, but when things get scary (ie when we had no services for 10 days during the hurricanes last year, and she had seen the shootings and stuff in New Orleans), she's glad I'm obsessed. I try to mix it up between cars, guns, knives, and new technology/computers, that way she never feels too barraged. As for others who criticize, most of my friends are native Floridians and have guns so no I dont see much criticism. They do get on me about my 10mm obsession though...I think their just jealous.
