Killer at Christian school was “transgender”

Should we now ban axes?

I also personally own an ax to cut up fire wood in order to heat my house in the winter and to also cook with, so I believe I have a right to own an ax.

If ax wounds were the cause of 45,000 fatalities in a single year, I'd certainly want to urgently consider measures to cut the number of deaths.

FBI Stats Show Knives Kill Far More People Than Rifles In America – It’s Not Even Close

Recent shootings in Atlanta and Boulder are driving a renewed push to ban "assault-style" rifles like the AR-15.

They lock up criminals in prisons, why not try locking up the nut jobs who are committing these murders before they murder? They used to have insane asylums for the nut jobs, bring them back.

Problem is, many in the government are on the side of the nut jobs.

Now if the liberal left really wants to save a couple of thousand children from “gun violence” deaths per year by banning guns.

Then why, oh why, would they not want to save nearly a million children a year by banning abortions?

It is because they do not really care about the children, they care more about the liberal agenda.

With all due respect, do you have any children? If a man broke into your house, and was raping your child, and you had a firearm, would you stand by and watch? That is my last word on this subject. I believe that the Bible speaks clearly, and I believe that the entire Bible is the inerrant word of God.
Have a wonderful Resurrection Sunday. On my way to church to worship Him and thank him for the fact that I live in a free country where owning a firearm in order to protect oneself or one’s loved ones is still an option.

I don't, but I have parents who are too old to defend themselves physically. If what you said happens, I would risk my life to stop the man (without firing a shot) so my parents can escape, even if it means I die under gunfire. I would be praying throughout the situation and who knows if God would give me a way of escape too? If I should die saving my parents, that would be pleasing to God too since there is no greater love than laying down one's life for others.

Happy Resurrection Day.

I’m not trying to label anyone into a political group. I made note earlier that there seems to be several members here with liberal Left leaning views. One of which is the belief that we should not have guns in our house, or own guns.

That is what you believe and that is also what many on the liberal left also believe. That does not make you a liberal leftist, it just means you hold the same view point on the topic of guns.

I am not left or right, neither have I ever voted. But I do have a view point as do you. Now I may agree with certain view points of conservatives, but that does make me a political activist of the right. And neither does your view on guns make you a political activist of the left.

You have your reasons why you don’t own guns, I have mine. Like I said earlier, I own guns to hunt, so I can eat, that to me is a God given right.

I can respect your decision not to own a gun, hopefully you can respect mine.

No hard feelings, peace and God bless

No hard feelings from me. I have stated what is said in the Gospel. I don't believe we are allowed to purposely kill others, even for self defense. If I were to own a gun, I would try to wound the offender so he/she can't fire a shot but definitely not kill. Only if the killing is accidental is it permitted under self defense.

I don't see a problem with owning guns for hunting. So I respect that right of yours.

Be blessed.

Its sad that what is morally right or wrong has become a political agenda these days.

I want to see action to reduce the number of abortions and the number of firearm deaths.

And just for context, the abortion rate in the USA has historically declined more under Democrat administrations than Republican. Under the last Republican administration, abortions rose for the first time in 40 years. The liberal left seems to better at protecting children in the womb.

Then from 1993 to 2012, Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama each ended up getting to fill two Supreme Court seats while their own party controlled the Senate.

• Clinton replaced the anti-abortion Justice White with Ruth Bader Ginsburg, providing Roe a sixth vote on the Court, as well as replacing Blackmun with Stephen Breyer.
• Bush replaced the late conservative Chief Justice Rehnquist with another conservative, John Roberts. More importantly, he replaced O’Connor, who voted to uphold Roe, with Alito, a more solid conservative. (His initial choice for that seat, White House counsel Harriet Miers, lacked support due to conservative objections.)
• Obama replaced two liberal justices (who had been appointed by Republicans), Souter and Stevens, with two other liberals, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan.

So for decades, there was a delicate balance of sorts, with five conservatives and four liberals on the courts, but with some of those conservatives (O’Connor and Kennedy) siding with liberals on certain key issues, and especially on Roe.

Then in 2016, Antonin Scalia died while Barack Obama was president. In theory, this was an enormous opportunity for Obama to replace a conservative with a liberal. The long-sought 5-4 liberal majority was in reach.

Except for one problem: Republicans had taken over the Senate in the 2014 midterm elections. This was the first Supreme Court vacancy to arise when the Senate and the presidency were controlled by opposite parties since the battle over Thomas’s seat in 1991. And partisan polarization had increased in the two and a half decades since.

Though previous Democrat-controlled Senates had rejected some nominees Republican presidents had put up for the Court, each debate was always about each specific nominee. GOP leader Mitch McConnell, though, set a new precedent: He said he wouldn’t consider any nominee Obama put up. (He claimed this was because it was an election year, but if Scalia had died in 2015, he would likely have found some other pretext — the appointment was simply too important for conservatives.)

This move paid off tremendously when Trump won the presidency and the GOP held the Senate in 2016. And Trump’s behavior once in office is where the increased success of conservative activists in dominating their party on this issue becomes evident — Trump made clear he’d only put up nominees who had the enthusiastic support of the Federalist Society.

Trump then ended up making three Supreme Court appointments in a single term. Replacing Scalia with Neil Gorsuch kept the conservative majority intact. He then also got to replace Anthony Kennedy and the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg — two Roe defenders — with conservatives Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett. (He could appoint Barrett because Republicans had managed to hold on to the Senate in the 2018 midterms.)

We don’t yet know for sure how the final decision on Dobbs will come down and what the margin would be. But the overall pattern is clear: Recent Democratic presidents have consistently appointed pro-Roe justices when they could. Republican presidents, though, may have started consistently appointing anti-Roe justices at just the right time.

The liberal left seems to better at protecting children in the womb.

So the ones who are for killing babies in the womb are better at protecting them than those who are opposed to killing them in the womb?

Now that is some sound liberal logic there for sure.

It’s as simple as this… With the current platform of the Democratic Party, it is impossible for someone who is truly saved to be a Democrat. They are not the party of pro life, they are the party of communism, squashing, free-speech, the party who applaud, transgender ism, the party who is in bed with China and who gave away our missile guidance secrets. I could go on and on. That’s enough to start with. They are also the party of homosexual marriage and drag queens reading to little kids and tainting their impressionable little minds with evil ungodly rubbish.
