What the Church does – and does not – teach about gun control

There is an important distinction to be made in intent, both Petri and Miller noted. The Church teaches that one must never intend to kill someone as an end, or as a means to an end.
 
Comment by: PHORTO (8/9/2019)
"A claim that does not seem to be morally or reasonably supported by Church teaching is the supposed right of citizens to protect themselves against their government, Petri said."

Well, the Church has its miter up its butt on this one.

That is the SPECIFIC reason the right was guaranteed in writing. The 2A presumes the right to exist unconditionally and to belong to the people, but the reason for its enumeration (as explained in its prefatory clause) is to guarantee that the national government cannot prevent an armed populace from standing against tyranny.
 
 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
Arms are the only true badges of liberty. The possession of arms is the distinction of a free man from a slave. — Andrew Fletcher 1698
