There is a lot of talk about increasing gun control. This naturally makes people who own, buy and sell guns nervous. Many of us think the second amendment is part of our right to self defense and ultimately a way of preventing government oppression. We suspect that the revolutionary fathers were concerned that the government needed to be kept in check by an armed populace.
But if the government declares marshall law and marches the army down the street to collect the guns, I will turn mine in.
We need to keep our eyes on the ball.
I like living in freedom. I like being able to own and use firearms. But neither of those is my purpose in life.
I am here to bring glory to God through the teaching and preaching of His word. I am here to reach people with the glorious gospel of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
The things God has called me to do are far more important than the second amendment, self protection or freedom from oppression. People need to know about the truth of the gospel. People need to be ready for their existence AFTER this life.
That is what we need to focus on.

Well said. We need to continually remember our purpose here.
