COLD COMFORT   Economist John Lott discusses the benefits of guns--and the hazards of pointing them out. This interview with Dr. Lott is found on the "Reason" website.  It was a good interview and is well worth the read.

DOES GOD BELIEVE IN GUN CONTROL?  An article by David Kopel in which he says: "But did God really endorse the Brady Bill? One would certainly think so, given the huge number of Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish religious organizations that endorsed the Brady Bill, and which endorse virtually every other gun control proposal. God's anti-gun army is prominent not just in Washington, but also in the state legislatures.
 

FIREARM FACTS Here are some solid facts given by the NRA/IL about guns.  Liberals don't like facts that are in antithesis to their belief system regarding guns.

GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH  Here is the short speech by Patrick Henry which this whole RKBA is all about, this is my opinion anyway.

GOT GUNS?  An article by Andrew Sandlin, editor of Chalcedon Report, who does not even own a gun. Yet,  he is for the "right  to bear arms". Andrew says: "The biggest hypocrites on gun control are those who live in upscale developments with armed security guards—and who want to keep other people from having guns to defend themselves."

HISTORICAL PRECEDENT FOR CHRISTIAN MILITIA  An article by a conservative Lutheran on early era for Independence. "In the American Revolution many clergymen took up arms against the British. The pulpits of nearly every colonial meeting house had for years proclaimed the apostasy of King George's government and the established Church. When the tyranny of British rule had become to much to bear, patriot clergymen not only encouraged the men in their congregation to join the American Army but actually formed and lead militias in the cause of liberty."

REAL GUN CONTROL IS HITTING WHAT YOU AIM AT This is a great article written by Brian Abshire in the Chalcedon Report in their Feb. 2000 issue: "Mr. Wacko enters a public place to start his shooting rampage and one armed citizen who knows how to focus on the front sight and squeeze the trigger is all that is needed to ruin the bad guy’s whole day."

REASONS TO OWN A FIREARM This is a list of several reasons why one ought to own and know how to use a firearm.

SELF-DEFENSE OR TURN THE OTHER CHEEK?  This is an article I wrote on Matt. 5:38-39. There seems to be much confusion in Christian circles regarding our Lord's statement.  I believe these verses are wrongly applied by pacifists and strive to show how the Bible doe not forbid but rather encourages self-defense.

THE JOURNALIST'S GUIDE TO GUN VIOLENCE COVERAGE  A good article by Dr. Michael Brown. It is a satire about  journalists and their reporting on gun violence.

20,000 GUN LAWS THAT DON'T WORK An article by W. Caffey who says: "with all these new laws, the majority of which have been created since 1968, we have had more and more illegal use of firearms than ever before. Despite all the laws and despite harsher penalties. One has to ask why?"

WHAT DOES THE SECOND AMENDMENT MEAN?  J. Neil Shulman interviews a langauge expert on the proper reading of the Second Amendment. Very interesting! Originally printed in the Gun Week.

WHAT AUTHORITY HAS THE CHRISTIAN FREEMAN TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS?A good article by a conservative Lutheran on the biblical obligation Christians have to be armed.  You might not agree with everything but most of his arguments (from Scripture) you will find convincing and thought provoking.

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT GUN CONTROL?  A good article by Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America, on what the Bible says about gun control. "Resisting an attack is not to be confused with taking vengeance which is the exclusive domain of God (Rom. 12:19)." This article also appears on the GOA web site as well as in the Chalcedon Report, Feb. 2000.
