Considering guns, God and James Madison
"No one can interfere in my God-
given right to guns" is a refrain often
heard in the heated rhetoric between
weapon owners and regulation advo-
cates.
Being that God has been dragged
into this cutting issue of American
politics, this claim becomes both sec-
ular and theological. Every time it is
made, Founding Father James Madi-
son rolls over in his habitat. He
thinks he created the Second Amend-
ment while God just looked on.
To tell the truth, Madison didn't
like the Amendments. Since the Con-
stitution didn't give the national gov-
ernment the power to regulate guns,
he argued, the Bill of Rights was un-
necessary.
But he was pushed to the wall
when several states, his own Virginia
among them, made ratification of the
U. S, Constitution conditional upon
inclusion of a bill of rights. Since his
Constitution was more important
than his principles, he buckled.
The Second Amendment is brief:
"A well-regulated Militia, being nec-
essary to the security of a free state,
the right of the people to keep and
bear arms shall not be infringed."
It should be obvious to that this
was written with Lexington and Con-
cord in mind when the ordinary folk
of the land had to grab their own
guns and fight the British. The Rev-
olutionary War was over but the
British might come back for an en-
core so we better keep our guns.
We can be pretty sure that James
Madison was thinking of those one-
shot muzzleloaders and not AR-15s,
cannon, bazookas and other weapons
of mass destruction now available at
the local hardware store.
For political cover, some modem
weapon owners have aUeged that
God gave them to right to guns,
therefore what God has joined to-
gether let no man tear asunder. That
claim is a real conversation stopper
because nobody wants to go against
God. In a showdown, even the athe-
ists will buckle.
Blaming God for gunsis uncalled
for. I've spent a lot of time in the
New Testament and can't find a word
about God or Jesus handing out
guns. So where do we get the idea
that guns are a right given to us by
God.
In my research, I found it hard to
plow through all of those New Testa-
ment verses about turning the other
cheek, living in peace and loving our
neighbors, including Samaritans, to
find a verse in which God handed out
guns.
At most, He might have let us
have guns to shoot pheasants (my fa-
vorite sport) and other game to feed
families but would He give us guns
that could shoot a lot of school kids?
The AR-15 is hardly a gun to de-
fend our homes from marauders. If it
is loaded, it is locked in some closet
so the kids can't murder each other.
By.the time we make three steps to-
ward that closet, the marauder has ru-
ined the bed, the wallpaper and
everybody in the room.
The president has proposed that
we give 20 percent of the school
teachers concealed weapons.
'We are already short of teachers
so why bring them into a deadly gun
fight. Let them die of old age. The
mass murderer is not going to knock
on the classroom door, loudly count
to 10 and shout "ready or not, here I
come."
He is going to bound into the
room with his AR-15 blazing while
the teacher is still looking for her
gun. When she finds it, the
peashooter will be no match for an
AR-15.
I am afraid man and not God is to
blame for this gun thing. And let
Madison have some credit.
