Jesus Christ Himself discussed it. This topic also affects how we conduct
ourselves in life and in Royal Ranger meetings. The values we hold tend to
rub off on the boys. Let's make them the same values Jesus Christ holds.
FCF has incorporated muzzle-loader target practice and throwing tomahawks
into its activities. Is this good or bad? What does Jesus Christ say?
Should we conduct bow-and-arrow target practice at Royal Ranger activities
or not? What would Jesus do?

That kind of depends on which direction it goes. I was trying to bring the
discussion back to a Biblical basis, not a uniquely USA-centric political
view. The second amendment of the USA constitution is essentially
meaningless outside of the USA, and its exact meaning is hotly debated
inside the USA. The USA constitution, like it or not, is neither permanent
nor universally recognized as authoritative, no matter how much I defend
it. The Word of God is relevant everywhere and lasts forever.

Good question. If God's view of the things of this world is not relevant,
then neither is my discussion. I do agree that we need to keep the main
things the main thing
