I could gouge your brains out with a fork or spoon too, but should we illegalise them too?
You're missing the point, it is human actions that make guns dangerous; otherwise its just pieces of metal
But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.

The sole purpose of any gun has is to kill or injured things, why else would humans have guns?

they do take the fact that america is larger into consideration.
that article also manipulates statistics, as i told you about in my last post, and is not a valid source. look what it also says
"There are also degrees of violence. While the UK ranks above South Africa for all violent crime, South Africans suffer more than 20,000 murders each year - compared with Britain's 921 in 2007."
a little skewed, don't you think?
"In Britain, an affray is considered a violent crime, while in other countries it will only be logged if a person is physically injured."
"But Police Minister David Hanson said: 'These figures are misleading.
Levels of police recorded crime statistics from different countries are simply not comparable since they are affected by many factors, for example the recording of violent crime in other countries may not include behaviour that we would categorise as violent crime."
I totally understand your concern. For example, lots of people I've talked with online have claimed to hear "god" talking to them, even going so far as to say they have a "personal relationship" with this god of theirs.
When I asked them what they would do if "god" ever commanded them to go kill somebody, they always dodge the question--makes me wonder what they're hiding. Pretty scary stuff if you ask me.
Hopefully a (preferably cute) guy in a costume will come to my rescue if their "god" ever gives the order to have me axed.
Eric Harris (Columbine massacre), Pekka Eric Auvinen (finnish studen murderer), Anders Breivik (Norwegian mass murderer) all claim to be following the logic of social Darwinism. Pretty scary stuff if you ask me.
Hopefully a guy in a costume will come to my rescue if social Darwinism ever motivates someone to have me axed.
Being a Christian I cant say that the phenomena doesnt take place, but imho the conscience is the voice of God talking to us. But physically hearing and conversing with the Lord Jesus and Jehova, I do not per say believe in it. I do believe people can be enlightened or have a change of heart or be inspired by dreams, and situations going on around them that can be construded as being a divine intervention or purpose. As for your question, it depends on the situation; I personally do not believe that God would ever ask someone to kill a particular person, but I do believe God would instruct us to take up in a cause against the works of evil men like the Old Testament where the Israelites were constantly under fire from the Phillistines and other tribes. If Israel were to be attacked by say Syria, Turkey, Iran, Bulgaria, Iraq, etc and I felt it in my heart to help the people of Israel, I would take that as God asking me to do what was right for His chosen people, even if that meant me giving my services to their military.

you're seriously saying modern day israel is no different than the ancient 'chosen' people? they're more like modern day spartans. a military state constantly at war, with ruthless special forces who are absolutely terrifying, even by american military special forces standards, who seriously do not give two fucks and would rather die than give up their land to any invading force. if the whole world pointed nukes at them, the last thing youd see before the giant ball of light(see: spirit bomb) is an even bigger middle finger, presumably in flames aimed at the world.
I have all the confidence in the world Israel would defeat any country in the Middle East without question.
