Bull-hockey. Never heard of the Biblical rod of iron, which even some evangelists are comparing to the AR-15 rifle?

Psalm 2:9 9You will break them with a rod of iron; you will dash them to pieces like pottery."

Revelation 2:27 27that one 'will rule them with an iron scepter and will dash them to pieces like pottery'-just as I have received authority from my Father.

Revelation 12:5 5She gave birth to a son, a male child, who "will rule all the nations with an iron scepter." And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne.

Well, if god dosen't agree, he can chime in anytime...

Guess athiests need permission for that right.

God is a theoretical, so what it's will "IS", is anyone's guess. If God is really a thing. Guns actually impinge on our rights to life and liberty. And that is real as death.

You are a fool. Guns do nothing, until someone picks them up and uses them. There is a city in the U.S. that has more guns per capita than any other U.S. city. It also has one of the lowest crime rates. It is also mostly middle-class white people living there. What does that tell you? Guns are not the problem. It's those damn blacks, Hispanics, and Islamic 'refugees'. That's a fact. Just look at FBI violent crime statistics. You liberals should be trying to ban blacks. We'd be a lot safer if you actually succeeded.

2nd Amendment: Constitutional firearm - bolt or leave action, six round capacity non detachable magazine ... public and law-enforcement.

Uh, no. His will is quite documented in The Bible.

Guns impinge our rights to life and liberty? Okay, so how's about we take you up to the NW wilderness to camp out for a week with nothing but a tent and no guns, cool?

Cya in a week, or not.

As the buzzards circle.

I am a fool that has been a victim of a gun, and a pacifist. I could have actually shot some one with their gun, and hoisted them on their own petard so to speak, but no... GOD, I hate guns and those that put me in that position. You have know idea...

But that's not me and my guns, though.

Ever watch Blue Bloods? I am Erin, you think you are Frank, we sit at the same table. We agree to disagree.

Have you ever read the U.S. Constitutional Bill of Rights? Most people don't understand that the Bill of Rights doesn't grant or allow rights, it's an enumeration of actions or activities that our government is prohibited from doing in respect to "the People of the United States" - that's all of us. It's the courts who have ruled that the Constitution doesn't say what it actually states

As far as our rights being God given, we all have certain human rights by mere virtue of having been born. They include

• The right to life (Possibly 2nd Amendment)
  
• The right to liberty and freedom (Possibly 2nd Amendment)
  
• The right to the pursuit of happiness
• The right to live your life free of discrimination
• The right to control what happens to your own body and to make medical decisions for yourself
• The right to freely exercise your religion and practice your religious beliefs without fear of being prosecuted for your beliefs (1st Amendment)
  
• The right to be free from prejudice on the basis of race, gender, national origin, color, age or sex
• The right to grow old (Possibly 2nd Amendment)
  
• The right to a fair trial and due process of the law (5th Amendment)
  
• The right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment (8th Amendment)
  
• The right to be free from torture
• The right to be free from slavery
  
• The right to freedom of speech (1st Amendment)
  
• The right to freely associate with whomever you like and to join groups of which you'd like to be a part. (1st Amendment)
  
• The right to freedom of thought
• The right not to be prosecuted from your thoughts

Our Constitutional however explicitly enumerates many of the human rights listed above. I've listed a couple of them.

And if we go back as far as the Declaration of Independence you'll find

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" - Declaration of Independence​

I feel sorry for any person as you so utterly jaundiced and ignorant of even what you sadly believe from what you think you know. God is a theoretical? Ask Mohandas Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Pope John Paul II, or Sri Chinmoy. And guns don't "impinge,"------ if not for guns, you would HAVE no rights or liberty to begin with!

Are you speaking of Kennesaw, Georgia?

Kennesaw is noted for its unique firearms legislation in response to Morton Grove, Illinois' law mandating gun prohibition. In 1982 the city passed an ordinance [Sec 34-21]:[21]


(a) In order to provide for the emergency management of the city, and further in order to provide for and protect the safety, security and general welfare of the city and its inhabitants, every head of household residing in the city limits is required to maintain a firearm, together with ammunition therefore.


(b) Exempt from the effect of this section are those heads of households who suffer a physical or mental disability which would prohibit them from using such a firearm. Further exempt from the effect of this section are those heads of households who are paupers or who conscientiously oppose maintaining firearms as a result of beliefs or religious doctrine, or persons convicted of a felony.

DEAL WITH IT!!!

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

Channeling Erin Regan: Obviously, the Constitution was written at a time when firearms were hand-loaded flintlocks when reloads took way longer than afterthoughts. I doubt our beloved forefathers had in mind insane sociopaths destroying children in schools.

So even though the OP states the right to bear arms comes from God, not the constitution in a mocking manner, the reality is that it isn't really that far from being true.
