Don’t make up stories. You’ll find no reference to a right to be armed “just in case”. You personally choose to infer a right to be armed.The Catechism says otherwise
You are mistaken. To deprive one of the means to exercise a right is to deprive them of the right. You may as well argue that we have the right to freedom of the press, but no right to any writing implements or to anything on which to write.That does not logically follow at all. You are entitled to take actions when threatened. That implies no right to carry the tools you’d like to the places you’d like when you like “just in case”
Personally, that’s not the biggest risk imo. It is the widespread and easy availability that concerns me, for 2 reasons. First, guns fall into the wrong hands. And second, the culture sees guns as routine; they are too readily drafted into situations where they should not be.Accidental shooting deaths
And you have the nerve to tell me not to make up stories?…so you now condemn the Bishops.
Your repeating that over and over doesn’t make it true. A plain reading of the Catechism proves you wrong.The church is not with you on this.
You can argue that at the point of needing to defend yourself, but not at every moment of your day “just in case”.To deprive one of the means to exercise a right is to deprive them of the right.
That is patent nonsense.No one agrees that carrying a weapon is a “fundamental human right” in the first place.
Just a moment ago someone said that taking cover was the best option. Are you saying that a better option is to step out from hiding, rush the attacker from however far away I am and hope he’s a lousy shot?If the bishop ordered you to stand still and let someone shoot you, you might have an argument. You are free to run away. You are free to throw objects. You are free hit the guy in the back with a chair. You are free to get in a group and knock him down and disarm him. There are options. Just not the one you want.
Certainly, but you don’t have the right or authority to require me to enter your property, as does the Bishop.If I don’t want you to distribute your papers on my private property, I have the right to tell you to beat it.
People may judge that a lot can go wrong with many guns in a crowd, or on the way to church, or on the trip from church, or…what is the primary reason why anti-carry people dont want people to carry guns legally in church ?
That’s absurd. Criminals don’t make appointments.You can argue that at the point of needing to defend yourself, but not at every moment of your day “just in case”.
That’s quite true. We don’t know the hour of our death either. Yet from your observation does not flow the right you claim.Criminals don’t make appointments.
Gross misuse of scripture. Jesus never hit nor killed anyone.If Jesus Himself was righteously violent in God’s house in order to prevent it being violated, couldn’t we do the same in carrying a gun to mass in order to protect ourselves and other innocent people from being murdered?
