Yeah, right.Ah, another person who does not understand how to use a firearm in the defense of oneself or another. Typical misunderstanding of those that never had any training in firearm self-defense.

this reminds me how much I hated Texas when I had the misfortune to live there for a couple of years.
That was too funny for a mere <funny> froobal.Were you a home invader/burglar?
how niceMost people don't care if you keep a weapon at home for self defense. The problem comes when people want to start taking weapons outside the home into the public.
Everyone should be able to carry on an airplane right? Gotta make sure you're ready when the terrorists try to hijack another plane! That's your logic. It's a paranoid logic.
Of course I'm right....you do realize that don't you.....Yeah, right.
Hogwash, that that verse means what you say. Did he tell them to defend themselves when the priests and soldiers came? Do you think he thought "two swords" was actually "enough" to defend themselves? And when one servant cut off the ear of one of those sent to get them, Jesus did not then command, "Fight! Every last one of you, fight for our lives!", or did he do the exact opposite of "defending themselves" by healing the servant's ear instead?Christians can defend themselves. (Luke 22:38) And, I have no idea if the person in the home incident was Christian or not. I am just glad he had a gun and knew how to use it.

Then why doesn't it deter them?But, it's a great deterrent for future would be criminals to stop and think about.
If you shoot to kill, yes it is.You're not executing someone.
Killing when it is unnecessary, especially gloating about it and calling it good as the OP, it is bloodlust.Which is a far cry from your bold empty claim of
I am referring specifically to needlessly killing as bloodlust. Shooting to maim, fear, those aren't bloodlust, but "welcome to Texas *bang*" like its a damn movie, yes, that is bloodlust. Doing it when there is no reason to do it, that is bloodlust.Yes:
Your utter lack of support for your assertions sure makes a compelling case.Of course I'm right....you do realize that don't you.....
you suppose the shooter appreciated the 2nd amendment as much as his other fellow texans? sounds like texans killing texans to me
Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him, "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.
evidently jesus thought violence just created more violence?
Why would a "real Christian" not simply want to do what Jesus explicitly commanded?The minimum level of force needed by that particular unique situation, which will tragically at times mean the attacker will be killed. But for a real Christian, the aim is never to simply execute an attacker.
having something and using something are not the same thing. otherwise, everyone would be guilty of doing something because they had something..(Luke 22:38)

Let's consider the definition of the word....Then why doesn't it deter them?
If you shoot to kill, yes it is.
#4 is the closest to your usage.
God didn't give you the 2A. Deists did.
BTW, your avatar is peculiar.
Looks like you support the confederate democrats in the south during the civil war?
I think the OP's attitude wasn't adequately explained in the OP.
In the article...
Channelview resident opens fire, killing 3 suspects inside his home
....the assailants were armed.
A gunfight broke out, the intruders were killed, & the defender
survived, albeit with a gunshot wound. Knowing that, I can
understand his jubilation.
The passage from Luke says that the swords were "for fulfillment of prophecy."having something and using something are not the same thing. otherwise, everyone would be guilty of doing something because they had something..
but again, sounds like texans killing each other.

Opinions will vary.I understand celebrating that people survived the violence, but that's not quite what I mean by glorifying gun violence.
