Genesis 12:3: I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse those who dishonor you. In you, all the families of the earth are blessed.
The Bible says as the nations wage war against Israel Jesus will come and destroy His enemies with the breath of His mouth. 2 Thess 2:8
We are commanded to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
It's not political, it's biblical.

Yes, it is. Problem is that it only takes a very small percentage of 400,000,000 guns to equal a heck of a lot of death and injury. It is imo unrealistic to think that having far fewer guns floating around is not a big part of the reason that peer nations have far lower gun homicide rates (and homicide rates in general) than we do. The easy availability of guns in our society also play a big part in the number of "successful" suicides.
In many of those countries, the government also has full control over the people, and few true 'freedoms' of the people. This is why we have the 2nd amendment in this country.

The gun homicide rate in the US is many times higher than in other advanced nations...why do we have "a people problem" and they apparently do not? I have been a gun owner since I was a teenager and my guns have never harmed anyone...but I think it is also unrealistic to believe that the sheer number of guns floating around the US does not play a part in our high rate of shootings.
Crazy, right? It's almost as if, the gun didn't have a problem. For years, many people have owned guns whose guns also never harmed anyone. Matter of fact, there was a time when many people openly carried their guns, including in their trucks, and yet, we didn't see all the shootings we do today. I wonder why that is?
The fact of the matter is, the US is much higher in other things compared to other nations as well.
- illegals crossing the boarder.
- single parent households
- one of the highest poverty rates
We also argue that we have a problem with mental illness, while ignoring all the true mental illness.
We don't seem to teach our kids about consequences anymore.
For that matter, we don't seem to enforce consequences to adults either. This is why crime is way out of control.
We make up every excuse we can when someone commits a crime, rather than simply holding that person accountable.
We're doing our best to take God out of everything, then wonder why all of these things are happening.
Make no mistake, it IS a people problem.

Not nearly as embarrassing as falling all over the place and constantly having to be told where you are.

You'd be wrong there, as usual. I don't want complete gun prohibition. I want registered guns, prevention of violent felons or those on the terror watch list to own them, domestic abusers, and those who are underage. Longer waiting periods, less killing weaponry available.
Again, NONE of this would change anything! It is NOT a gun problem, it's a people problem. I don't understand why democrats can't understand this.

Soon after you tell that to the countless more that are murdered here because of our gun obsession. I'll get right on it.
Says the side that doesn't want to secure our borders.
You're naive if you actually believe gun registration will prevent anything.

I’m just wondering where all the outrage is regarding the shooting in Chicago. Guess that one doesn’t fit the narrative.

it is against the law when there is negligence and abuse. Do you disagree with those being unlawful?
Were they abusing their child? If so, then yes, they should absolutely be punished for that. That, however, is also a crime THEY are committing. It's the same with negligence.
What's happening here, however, is neither. The parents in this case are being punished for the ACTION committed by their child.
As I've already stated, if you believe the parents here should be held responsible and punished for the action committed by their child, then you should be fighting for every bad parent everywhere to be punished. Then you'll need to create a committee that decides what constitutes a bad parent. This is the problem with the precedent being set here.

No the parents have the influence on the kids . I am relieved that you’re not in disagreement. Like I said I hold you and others in high regard when it comes to logic and reasoning. Kids can do wrong all the time but not being there is why our jails are full and crime is up.
Influence is the key word here. Again, you can set all the examples you want, but when our kids leave the house, they must make their own decisions. All we can do is hope we are doing the best job we can so that they make the right decisions. But the influence of the kids around them can be just as influential, if not more.

Those are apples to oranges. You know dang good and well being an influence in your kids will develop them into adults. It up to you if it good or bad example.
How is it apples to oranges? It’s actually a very legitimate question. Where do you draw the line? Who decides which action parents are responsible for, and which ones the person committing said action is responsible for?
And it’s up to the individual whether they choose to be good or bad. The parent teaches them the difference, and the consequences. The individual makes their choice.

Being proactive rather than reactive is the way to be an effective parent . I can’t believe I am having this conversation with y’all. I mean Barry is nutty as a fruitcake but I am sure he would agree. I hold you to higher standard.
I feel the same; I can’t believe we’re having this ridiculous conversation.
Do you believe the gun manufacturers should be held accountable also? Because that’s along the lines of the same thing. They ultimately provide the gun.
No one ever said that parents aren’t parenting. So don’t sit here and give me that BS implication as if I don’t. Again, a parent can do as much as they can to parent the right way. Their kids are still going to do wrong. When they do, THEY are held responsible. That’s how they learn.
Simply being a bad parent is not against the law. I can’t believe I’m having to explain that.

Exactly I can’t behind that idiotic logic.
No, putting a parent in prison because their kid committed a crime is idiotic.

Standing by doing nothing makes you just as guilty. The kid was fifteen you mean to tell me you wouldn’t at least look into it? They knew he had mental problems. Check bags , talk to him , get professional support, medical advice, ect. This isn’t disputable.
The reality is, even when a parent does everything as right as we can in raising our kids, they still do bad things.
In this case, are the parents guilty of being bad parents? Possibly. Does that make them responsible when their kid, who's old enough to know right from wrong, makes a bad decision? No.
And how do you know he had mental problems? Because the media said so? Have you seen his medical records? What mental problems was he diagnosed with? My point is, we are so quick to base anything and everything on 'metal illness' now days. Meanwhile, we sit back and accept other mental illnesses.
If you're going to put the responsibility for this on the parents, then go start arresting every 'parent' that walked out on their kid(s). After all, if they weren't around to teach their kids anything, then it's their fault when their kid commits crime and they should be held responsible, right? No, that isn't how reality works.

Parents should responsible for their children. You knew there was a mental illness issue. You didn’t check your surroundings and didn’t do any preventable actions. You didn’t talk or get him help. You weren’t the parent. This is the parent fault.
No, it is not.

I would wager most of them across the political spectrum aren't as smart as they think and don't know much outside of politics.
Many of them don’t know much inside of politics either.

Hilarious the leap to defense of what essentially is and has been a shiny turd of a place to live, because it has become a linchpin for Trumpites and culture wars. If it voted Democrat, it would be seen as the worst place in our country to live for 20 different reasons.
If it voted democrat, you wouldn’t have created the post.

Faith is rooted in freedom. Who are you to 'allow' anyone anything?
Faith is rooted in your belief in God.
‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father except through me.’.
Who am I? I am a Christian, obeying the commands my father has given me;
‘Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations…’, Mt. 28:19
When I say ‘allow, you’re misinterpreting how I mean that. That did not imply that I’m giving them permission. Simply that if a believer doesn’t share the truth of Jesus, then how is the unbeliever supposed to come to know him.

Love one another. It starts there. Curious why you don't get that.
Sharing God’s word, the TRUTH, IS love. Allowing someone to follow a path to destruction is not. Not sure what you don’t get about that.

21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
Mt. 7: 21-23

If you support the transgender movement, then I’m curious what it is you’re celebrating on Easter.
You can’t support the things that go against Jesus, then claim to follow Jesus. It doesn’t work that way.
