The Second Amendment: Why we should ban spanking, not guns

Many people think we should ban guns, or at least heavily regulate them. This is a common stance among leftist SJWs who support parental rights. I work alongside the left to ban punitive parenting, but I am not a leftist myself, and instead am a children's rights Christian conservative. I hate guns, but if you want to own a gun, I'm not going to stop you.

We have too many guns in this country, and that is why gun control measures won't work. We have an amount of guns comparable to Russia. Russia actually did pass gun control laws, and it failed - people just bought guns off of the street. Once people start buying guns off of the street, we lose track of them, and then we can't regulate them. It would be nice if such laws would work in this country, but it would be nice if we all could grow wings and fly as well.

Corporal punishment is the leading cause of violence in this country, not guns. Guns are simply the tool used to commit mass shootings. Violence is bred, meaning we have the tendencies to be violent as depraved and entitled human beings, but we also need a violent role model to become violent. Most violence is linked to mental health issues that are further linked to early childhood trauma.

In the United Kingdom, punishment of a child, including corporal punishment, is legal. Yet, the UK has some of the strongest gun laws in the world. So, what do people resort to? Knife fighting. And then, the London city government has, in previous years, proposed restrictions on knives carried by individuals. 

In Iceland, however, those same gun laws exist, but a spanking ban also exists, with landmark cases of corporal punishment leading to criminal arrest to make an example out of the parents. Violent crime is pretty much non-existent. Domestic violence is the most common form of violence, but even those rates are lower than the U.S. - 17% of co-habiting or marital relationships lead to domestic violence in Iceland. You can't have it much better than that, given no country is perfect.

It says in Romans 13:1-4 KJV:

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever resisteth the power resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resisteth shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to the good works, but to the evil: Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: for he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

The highest authority in the land is not a ruler in the United States of America - it is the United States Constitution. The Constitution comes with a Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights has a Second Amendment. I can't own a gun under my current religious restrictions, but at the same time, I have to accept that I live in a country where people can own guns and not have the government after them about it.

You can bet the shooter at Robb Elementary School in Ulvalde, Texas was punished as a child. We have no definitive evidence of that, but no child that grew up without punishment and in an attached home would ever shoot up a school like that. Punishment in childhood is known to trigger many mental illnesses, and many adults who have antisocial personalities grew up in horrific circumstances where violence was common, against them and against a mother figure

Let the depraved and entitled adults who commit gun violence be cast into everlasting Hell-fire and torment, suffering God's Wrath forever and ever! Repent!
