Hey, I got my gun on campus, where's yours?

You'll need it.

I made a conscious decision not to bring my gun. I don't have a sidearm (which would be more ideal for the situation). I am debating on bringing my shotgun back.

When you shoot to impart grace, you can say with assurance: "He shall receive blessing from the LORD, And righteousness from the God of his salvation."

People,
Look at the picture closely. It can't by definition be vigilantism. Vigilantism (and there are much worse things in the world) goes OUT to look for bad guys on arbitrary and usually trumped up charges. These people are staying IN on the DEFENSIVE against internal terrorists.
So for now on, I just ignore vigilante charges.

I will illustrate by way of poetry (ie, Charlie Daniels)

Ya know what's wrong with the world today?
People done gone from the Bible's way
They livin by the law of the jungle not the law of the land.
THe Good Book says it so I know its the truth,
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
You better watch where you're going,
Remember where you been.
That's the way I see it I'm a simple man.

Now I;m the kind of guy that wouldn't harm a mouse
But if I catch somebody breaking in my house
I got a 12 guage shotgun waiting on the other side
Now don't go pushing me against my will
I don't want to fiht you but I darn sure will
If you don't want trouble then you better just pass me on by


{Repeat chorus}

Boy, Charlie Daniels didn't have a schizophrenic worldview with respect to law and public policy

The above is self-defense.

This is vigilantism:

"I Got Rights" By Hank Williams Jr
I went down to the Mary Cater Paint Store
I said, give me one of them Smith & Wesson Magnum .44s
Cause there's a man that the law let loose and justice was not done
This man he killed my wife and my only little son

I'll never forget the way he looked all through the trial
He had a big name lawyer and he had that smirky smile
Oh yeah, he got you off on a technicality
But you'd have to grow wings and fly to ever get away from me

Cause I got rights
I got rights too
And this time there won't be no d*** lawyers and systems to protect you
But I'm gonna read you - I'm gonna read you your rights
You got the right to know that you're gonna go to h*** one of these black nights

And when the trial was over he had the nerve to say that's the way it goes
I said, well hoss you better get you some corks cause your gonna have to plug up a few holes
I guess he thought I was talkin' just to pass away time
But he kinda looks different now on his knees beggin' for his life

Hey, I got rights
I got some rights too
And this time there won't be no d*** lawyers and systems to protect you
But I'm gonna read you - I'm gonna read you your rights
Cause I want you to know that your gonna go to h*** one of these black nights

Yeah, and this time there aint no d*** lawyers and systems to save you .

No, I don't support vigilantism but in cases like this (murder and rape) I don't lose much sleep over it.

Its a chilling song, granted. I mean, who doesn't fear and rage when the courts let murderers go scot free?

For the record, I had NO idea this thread was about gun control. I don't believe in that.

Pastor Way, that post is hilarious. That first one will make you holey alright!

yeah, I think he is too much of an intellectual. Maybe a politician, but he ain't no John Braddock a la Chuck Norris in Missing in Action More like Cicero, but a Christian Reformed version

If you (generic you) break into my house I will assume the worst and will shoot to kill. I do not know that you only intend to help yourself to my property. I will assume that you are going for blood and I will respond accordingly.
