Whats the easiest way to demolish the NRA claim that god gave Americans the right to own a gun?

[stopbush]

1. Argue that god doesn’t think that way and did not bestow that right on Americans

2. Argue god doesn’t exist to bestow such a right

I’m thinking #2.

1. I have a shirt from movie Paul

That shows Jesus shooting Darwin and says evolve this. Share pictures of Jesus with an AR-15 killing people. Everywhere, all the time.

[Freedomofspeech]

2. How about guns were never mentioned in the Bible?

[0rganism]

3. maybe ask which part of the standard bronze age texts they would cite as evidence

if anyone gave them the right to own guns, it's probably the SCOTUS

4. You can't argue with Stupid.

Anyone stupid enough to believe that "God gave Americans the right to own a gun" is far too stupid to be argued with.

The best thing to do in an argument with Stupid is to point out that their shoelaces are untied - because figuring out how to re-tie them will keep them busy for at least a couple of hours, giving you plenty of time to walk away, laughing.

12. Or as comedian Ron White says: "You can't fix stupid."

5. Tell them they're so crazy they will fail a background check.

[TheBlackAdder]

14. That's probably why they're arguing that point, because they are mentally unhinged and need a reason

[dweller]

6. uh oh

the biblical commandments are listed in different orders depending on translations I guess... I was taught the 1st was
"thou shalt not kill"

works for me...

[gopiscrap]

7. that is one of the most fucking twisted thoughts of theology I have ever heard

God is supposed to be all loving
God had the lamb and lion lie together
One of the attributes given to Christ is Prince of Peace

My faith tells me that God/Jesus Christ would abhor guns

[pnwmom]

8. Our founding fathers said God gave us a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

They didn't say that God gave us a right to guns.

Also, the 2nd amendment isn't absolute -- just as the 1st amendment isn't absolute.

[Skittles]

9. the NRA speaks for gun manufacturers and gun humping cowards

not God

[Initech]

10. Ask them to name where it says that in the Bible. Exact verse.

Then grab some popcorn and watch the impending meltdown.

[johnpowdy]

11. Guns are a fetish. That is it. A sick fetish that needs to be banned.

[Cha]

13. Prove it.

[Mr. Ected]

15. You can't demolish the claim, because it's based on a fallacy

The only thing you and I can do, as per Congressman Schatz, is TO BEAT THEM at the ballot box and use our strength to undercut the NRA and restore order to the USA.

[Orange Free State]

16. Point out that a militia is the constitutional reason for gun ownership...

....so if you want an AR-15, join the National Guard.
