Or by passing a new law? Wouldn't it be nice if we could eliminate original sin by any means at all than redemption of individual corrupt wills? Jesus wouldn't even have had to die if He had thought of this first. Cain would never have slain Abel and a whole lot of heartache could have been averted. Instead of telling people not to commit violence on each other, you could just remove the means and leave their consciences alone from then on. (Then on to removing genitalia so there wouldn't be adultery, and food so there wouldn't be gluttony, and cattle so there wouldn't be coveting.)<br /><br />It's kind of appalling that the Pope of all people could drift into this kind of error. I thought there were, I don't know, seminaries or something.

I'd thank him for his concern but ask him to mind his own business when it comes to the laws in our country, as he's not head of state here.<br /><br />Ironically (or perhaps not), I sort of doubt he's prepared to ban weapons from the Swiss Guard.MikeDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08116809134355184859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-23394240921255185122018-04-30T15:20:04.072-04:002018-04-30T15:20:04.072-04:00Before guns were in common use, or even invented, ...Before guns were in common use, or even invented, Europe was a pretty violent place. And there was a huge advantage for men (only men) who were able to devote a lot of time to physical, horsemanship, and weapons training.<br /><br />And, of course, there was plenty of violence between Native American tribes prior to firearms.<br /><br />One effect of the abolition of guns, and further of weapons of any kind, would be great empowering of the mob against the individual.

It is ultimately a belief that tools dictate behavior.<br /><br />Because this is obviously insane, there must be some other reason behind it. I continue to assert that this is a branch of culture war. Gun-controllers want those who disagree with them to be disempowered, believing that this will gradually make everyone less violent.<br /><br />It should be noted that strict gun laws did not make Europe less violent. Europe became less violent as it settled its tribes into separate nations, especially post-WWII. Not entirely, but far more than before the two World Wars. The homicide rate dropped first. Then they changed the laws. Now that they are less homogeneous, crime is rising again. Homogeneous American states have low violent crime rates as well.Assistant Village Idiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978011985085795099noreply@blogger.com
