An old friend of mine who was an ordained minister use to say that the Old Testament and the New were one in the same and that Jesus really didn't change anything of importance.
He would say that the Old Testament was the New Testament concealed and the New Testament was the old testament revealed. Jesus was basically saying that the people of that time had misinterpreted the Old Testament.
You might want to check your history to see what happened to many societies in the past when the government took away the rights of the people to own guns. We do have a problem in this country, but I don't see how taking guns away from law abiding citizens will help the problem.
