<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr>[color:"blue"]Yes, I see your point, but people with depraved natures are also drawn to:<br>1. Cars, so let us do away with motor vehicles because they may steal them.<br>2. Misusing Gasoline, so let us do away with it.<br>3. Gang colors, Bandannas, and leather jackets, so let us do away with clothing.<br>4. Cussing, so let us do away with all human language.<br>5. Abuse of the body, so let us do away with it as well.<br><br>Bingo! You hit it on the head. You took the argument against drugs, casinos, etc. to its logical conclusion.</font><hr></blockquote><p> No, this is the logical conclusion of your position that GUNS kill and NOT PEOPLE which you are attempting to make a univocal argument with other things (casinos and drugs), which are equivocal. Remember you said[color:blue] I must say I am a bit uncomfortable saying "guns don't kill people, people do</font color=blue> and that is what we are debating. Either guns kill people or they don't? Yes or No? Is the problem with the human nature or with the tool? When the District Attorney charges someone with murder I have never read: Mr Colt .357 you are indited for 3 counts of murder with the intention to deprive someone else of their life! How many guns are locked up accused of murder?<br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr>[color:"blue"]Well li0scc0 I guess God's Word must be wrong then. No one needs to be saved. After all, our problem is not in ourselves it is with the THINGS (guns, gambling, drugs) that TEMPT us. TEMPTATION is the root of our sin and not the human nature itself?</font><hr></blockquote><p> As I have already stated I am against illegal drugs and even Casinos, but not guns. Your insinuation otherwise is unwarranted. Your equivocal argument with guns comparing them to drugs and casinos is also contradictory. IMHO I see Scriptural arguments against gambling (i.e. have no other gods, et. al.) and illegal drugs (i.e. your body is temple of the Holy Spirit, et. al.), but not guns. Thus, to do away with Illegal Drugs and Casinos would be Biblical. Who makes the distinction--God!
