I'll admit, I've no problem with people owning guns. In fact I think that the slim chance we could rise up against a bad government justifies it easily.
But I often wonder, how do Christians reconcile their belief in people owning guns with the teachings of Jesus?

You don't own the gun to kill, you own the gun to keep from being killed or for sport.
I don't see where Jesus would have a problem with that.
You can kill someone with a fork or a shovel or a rope...If you want to kill someone you find a way, it's not the gun that is the killer it is the spirit of the man holding the weapon.So a gun used to maim is okay
As a last resort in self defense.
