As I posted elsewhere online, we need to distinguish between guns and gun culture. Roger Olson wrote aboit how he saw somebody with a Guns and Gods bumper sticker and thought he needed to go under formal biblical church discipline. While I wouldn't go that far, I am concerned with how some Christians seem to have adopted some of the excesses of gun culture that go beyond biblically defensible self defense. I had one co worker who was a professing Christian who liked to talk about shooting liberals and obsessively posted memes about gun violence in general being good.
I made the analogy of alcohol and guns both being fine in their place but both having a sick culture grow up around them."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

So, for me, guns are not just about entertainment, but about hobby/competition -- which works out well, because if I ever had to use a gun for self defense, I'd say I'm a whole lot more proficient than a lot of people who have guns.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

I'm thinking more of street gangs or people who think the idea of killing people is funny.
I think shooting competitions are cool personally.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
