This is mostly a debate about whether Caesar can use the threat of force and violence to protect people from private citizens who want to use the threat of force and violence, precisely how much force and violence private citizens should be allowed to exercise, and whether some private citizens should be allowed more than others.Josh wrote:As a Christian? Not sure what I can do. Do you want me to use the threat of force and violence to make your child safer? (That’s what more cops and more gun laws are - laws enforced with threats of violence.)
And how to keep private citizens safe and feeling safe in the meantime.
Romans tells me that Caesar wields the sword for a reason. The Second Amendment is not mentioned in Romans, but it is in our constitution, so we have to take it into account.
