God and Guns: What the Bible Says about the Second Amendment and the Right to Life Both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton claim to be Christians, yet they are both intent on banning access to firearms and ammunition from law-abiding Americans. Bethany Blankley — May 18, 2016
Both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton claim to be Christians, yet they are both intent on banning access to firearms and ammunition from law-abiding Americans.
Who can forget when Obama declared that, “bitter Americans cling to guns and religion and antipathy towards people who aren’t like them as a way to express their frustrations.” Since then, he has sought by every means necessary to circumvent the Constitutionally protected “Right to Bear Arms.”

God’s definition of the right to life and one’s right to protect it is clear– throughout both the Old and New Testament of the Bible.
Exodus 22:2 instructs homeowners that they are not guilty of murder, (prohibited by the Sixth Commandment) if they kill a thief who is breaking and entering into their home or stealing his property. And, throughout the Bible, using a weapon is required for self-defense.
Nehemiah, a man chosen to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, was protected and armed by the Persian King Cyrus. Cyrus made sure that he and his men were armed. Every man “wore his sword girded at his side” (Neh. 4:18)– while they were building a wall.
Jesus affirmed the Old Testament laws, and as was recorded by his disciple, Luke, said, “When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions, are undisturbed.” (Luke 11:21).
