i’m a conservative christian and even I can’t figure out why people are so obsessed with guns here. It’s absolutely insane. Isn’t the entire point of a strong military that we don’t need to have AR15s in our closets? IF you really want to play around with more than a simple hunting rifle, maybe you should join the national guard or military yourself instead of LARPing as a soldier?
The problem is actually the two-party corporate system, not the average citizen trying desperately to make sense of it. Voting is a formality and changes nothing. The gun stuff comes from the legal end of things. This problem won’t be solved by a ballot measure from either side getting voted on. It’s a philosophical issue. And to understand issues like this, you have to talk to the real people who hold the opinions. Have you ever actually befriended someone who is obsessed with guns?
agreed. let me check my bible…i don’t recall jesus ever recruiting a militia and marching around with bows and sling shots enforcing his law on the public. of course, you know that many groups of humans have done this over the years, many of them nowhere close to christian.
My point is that calling yourself a “Christian” and also being and voting for American conservatives is hypocritical in the extreme. Feel free to refute my actual point if you please, but I think Jesus was FOR feeding the hungry, but I might be mistaken.
Last “militia” like activity I remember would be Jan6, and I bet lots of them go to church and call themselves Christian conservatives

Maybe stop voting for the people perpetuating that culture?

American conservative “values” would disgust Jesus.

And, in fact, he reprimanded Peter for using a sword to chop off a guy’s ear.
I have no idea what you’re trying to convey here.
