And I am not claiming it would be easy, what’s easy is lashing out violently in return, it’s hard to keep control and put your trust in the Creator who has your eternal life in his hands.

GOD gave every creature the instinct for survival. The whole Bible is full of wars and killing, including persons killed by GOD HIMself. I am a peaceful person myself, with several weapons created to kill. My survival is not up to law enforcement or the Government, just me. If a man will not take up a gun or weapon to protect his family or property, then I am sure that his wife will. Some might say that a man does not deserve to KEEP his property or family if he is not willing to protect it. This is a dangerous world and always has been. A person not willing to defend himself will become someone else's slave.
