Do you have auto insurance or medical insurance?

Fortunate? You gamble often?
Let me ask you this...do you think there might be christians somewhere that trusted God would protect them and ended up being hurt or killed anyways?

Right, unfortunately some can only see this as an opportunity to judge the faith of others and not see the larger picture

There aren't any criminals out there that go into another line of business because they can no longer obtain their weapon of choice through proper and legal channels.

I think these kinds of people that push for this stuff must be naive enough to think Big Daddy Government can be God and protect everyone. But we have already seen how screwed up government is

I don't fit any of the profiles listed. I work for our local Sheriff's office as well and my son is in the military and law enforcement.

Don't Mess with MOW! I have a vivid imagination of a man in speedos chasing someone with a gun

Or a Light Saber. But in the real world, I'd probably cut off my own arm playing with the thing before I had a chance to maim the intruder.
It would still be neat though!

Since last summer I have been witnessing to a woman about salvation. 3 weeks ago we baptised her in Jesus name. 3 hours ago I found out her next door neighbor was stabbed to death early this morning. A pistol used properly can really hinder a stabbing. I have become less ambivalent toward gun ownership.

I really do not think you sincerely believe that. That is more of a "Christian talking point" or "bumper sticker" slogan, than an actual belief. Why do you think I do not believe you believe that? Simple. Because if you were to really, really, really believe that, you would not lock the doors to your house because you would just "trust God with your families safety."
I pray I never have to protect my family in this manner, but it is my God given responsibility to protect my family from all ememies be they spiritual or physical, so I lock my doors at night, and if that does not work, may God have mercy on their soul.

Praxeas, what a ridiculous question! Of course there are Christians who get killed, it happens all the time! We call them MARTYRS!!!!
Don't you believe that God is fully in control! I see a definate lack of faith in God here, sorry!
