Bible is written in parables that lend themselves to many interpretations. It is vague enough that you can tease anything out of it to support your cause. How many Christian sects "know" what the bible says and it supports them, only them. Like Serpent handlers...its in the bible. The bible is a good door stop.

A crazy dunce, trying to make excuses, and pulling the crazy out of his ass. Not only does he not make sense, but the bible considers showering a person with bullets to be among the greatest of evil sins. The only time its permissible is when life is on the line, and you only need to shoot once. It's not justified in that sense, but it isn't damning either, due to the circumstance. A person breaking into your house, or robbing a store is not acceptable reason to shoot them. If people don't know how to deter with a gun, and can only kill, maybe they shouldn't have them. You can't drive a car, if you can't provide evidence you can handle a vehicle. The shoot first, figure things out after, crowd need to have their capabilities, and mental judgment tested.
1. Does the Bible mention what caliber bullets that had back then? What propellant did they use? I thought the Chinese first experiment with gunpowder wasn't until around 850 A.D?
2. And it mentions how many rounds to fire? Was Jesus packin' too, or was that mentioned later in the New Testament?
Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.
A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
Thomas Paine "All institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish appear to me to no other than human inventions set up to terrify and enslave mankind and monopolize power and profit." He understood it. Recent churches like Scientology and Mormonism show that so clearly . The older ones are no different.
