True; when we have a proper moral authority in the government, perhaps this issue could be decided.But some allow 5 year olds to own guns.
Gun rights covers everyone, without a criminal history, to own a gun, including the inept.
Then we come back to the center of these debates. Intentional murder, and gun violence, from an easy access to guns.
No, not even one murder is acceptable. It should be outlawed, whether it is done with a car, knife, pressure cooker, or gun.
Easy access to guns is a big problem. If you are going to supply more and more law abiding Americans with guns which give them the right to shoot and kill, then you are going to promote a great risk of accidental, untrained and unintended incidents of more killing and wounding of bystanders.
So, we hold the issue āhostageā until it meets our standards, politically? Until then itās acceptable to let it continue.
When have we ever had a secular government with a 100% moral authority?
I donāt believe there was a moral authority then either.

I think the Constitution was written and it serves that purpose and the State properly deals with it, not a centralized Federal Government, that is true.Yes, for the Northern States. Slavery was wrong.
But that places the moral authority upon a single issue.
The Constitution is a Moral Authority and many think Divinely or Biblically Inspired, some founders like John Adams were holy men.
The Constitution was modeled on the Constitution John Adams drafted for Massachusetts.
The Catechism, which I assume is of greater importance, calls for the regulation of guns.
You would not think that New York State and Texas should have the same kinds of gun laws? Donāt you believe God respects us as individuals?

I donāt find the constitution divinely, or God, inspired. The constitution allowed the government to legislate all laws that we have today, including the legalization of abortions. That same constitution is being used for gay marriage rights, etc. It is far from divine.
That would bound the Church to a single issue, and Christ did not teach a single issue.
I find the Constitution divine, I said āConstructionistā views, the Court has made up decisions out of whole cloth, they did not follow the Constitution per abortion rights. You can have whatever opinion you want. There were activist judges who according to most constitutional scholars did not follow what our founders laid out.
Sorry, I do believe Jesus taught a single issue, that is to follow Him.
Itās not a ānon-negotiableā issue. The Catechism should address a renegade government against Christian values as well.
Love one another, as He loved us, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, give shelter to the stranger, care for the sick, visit the imprisoned, love your enemy, do good to them that persecute you, avoid sin, render unto Caesar, render unto God, pray, and the list goes on. Of course these are directions of how to follow Him. There wasnāt a single teaching from Christ.
