Guns and the Bible

The words of Jesus - love your enemies = choose love instead of hate. How do you reconcile the message of love your enemies, with killing your enemies?

How does the current gun-carry message fit with the words of Jesus? I know we have wrangled over this issue before. But it still bothers me.

There are two paths that can be chosen when confronted with evil, and someone wanting to hurt/kill you. You can own a gun and protect yourself and your family by killing, if needed.

Or, you could choose to not own a gun, trust the Lord and probably die.

Which scenario do you find yourself in?
