Recently Presidential candidate and avowed Christian Ben Carson caused freedom-loathing leftist-lunatics to become appoplectic when he suggested that so-called “Gun Free” zones are counter productive and that we have a constitutional right to carry a firearm to defend ourselves.
Learn to do good. Seek justice. Help the oppressed. Defend the cause of orphans. Fight for the rights of widows.
~~ Isaiah 1:17-20 (NLT)
“Give justice to the poor and the orphan; uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute. Rescue the poor and helpless; deliver them from the grasp of evil people.
~~Psalm 82:3-4 (NLT)
Ben is right! If you are weaponless, you are unprepared to obey the above commands. Of course we are also to love our enemies, so If a Christian should find him/herself in such a situation similar to the deadly assault at Umpqua college/Aurora Colorado, Virginia Tech, Sandy Hook, et. al., he/she should immediately start dispensing lead at the servant of Satan until he/she is no longer a lethal threat. Of course, while shooting, adrenaline flow allowing, the Christian could be lovingly praying that the servant of Satan will be freed from Lucifer's grip and call upon the name of the Lord to be saved. Additionally if the servant of Satan is incapacitated by the Christian's righteously dispensed hot lead, before he/she bleeds-out into eternity or before the ambulance gets there, the Christian should share the gospel with his/her captive audience.
"..if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one."
~~Jesus Christ, Luke 22:36
Sounds like a command to me, brothers. So I suggest you buy a sword (i.e. a gun) and carry it with you constantly so you can protect your family and other innocents. By not doing so you are willfully disobedient of Gods commands in Luke 22:36, Psalm 82: 3-4 and Isaiah 1:17-20
Words to live by.
