I see in the May 10 Enquirer ("Lawmakers push to loosen gun limits") that several of our Ohio legislators representing the gun lobby are now quoting Scripture to justify their attempts to further weaken Ohio's gun laws.
I find it hard to believe that Jesus would sanction an effort to expand further the spread of lethal weapons, Second Amendment rights not withstanding. |

Judges 5:8 reminds us of what happens to a foolish nation that chooses to disarm: "They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?"
Luke 22:36: "Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one." When Peter used his, Jesus bade him put it back in place, not turn it in at the sword buyback ! Live to fight another day, basically.
The Roman short sword was the Glock of the times, folks. Any Roman citizen could wear one. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. — Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888). |
