A response from a FB "friend" to... [View all]

my response on his posting about more God in school and arming teachers

Background...He is one of those guys that lived life a bit over the line so to speak and now he has found Jesus.

"here's my reply to your comment.............the number of bullets a gun can carry has NOTHING to do how many people someone can kill. Forcing responsible people to decrease their ability to protect their life and other people lives does not make any sense! Would you have a problem if one of the teachers in Newtown had a pistol that carried 50 bullets and then had to use all of them to protect her life and all her students lives? John would you honestly consider changing the speed limit in Connecticut to 5 mph so that the next drunk that drives his car home from the bar would be less likely to kill someone if he lost control of his car and hit someone? Well?"

One of his other comments in his posting
, "my life was given to me by God and God alone. And I have an obligation to God to defend the life he gave me and to ensure I fulfill his plans and purpose for me in my life."

I am composing myself before I write back otherwise I am likely to go off the walls and eviscerate him.
