I'm saying that I'm a Christian. I trust God. I trust that God will protect me and my family from ever facing such a situation. Since I trust God to protect us or to make a way of escape...I honestly don't see a need for a weapon.
Dude, you are seriously deluded if you think no Christian family has never been hurt by an enemy or intruder. This stuff is happening ALL OVER THE WORLD. Wake up and read the News. Read about the Sudan. Read about China. It happens.

BTW I don't own a gun, But I am not deluded into thinking Christians can never be harmed by an enemy because God is protecting them. Go study history then come back and talk. It does happen.

BTW that's not faith you have. That's ignorance. Everyone has faith and every Christian certain has faith. How many Christians did God protect from Saul before he repented? How many were protected by God from the Romans? Everyone of them? How many through the centuries were protected? All of them? Are you blind? Are you just ignorant of history and recent and current events? What is it?
