Oh great Jews are buying guns for their protection. Mainly on the Democratic party.

According to a survey conducted by the Pew Research Center, 55% of Democrats and those who lean towards the Democratic party believe in God, with 21% being fairly certain, 7% not too certain, and 13% not believing in God. However, it is important to note that the Democratic party is not antithetical to religion, and many of the top Democratic hopefuls have made a concerted effort to affirm their religious beliefs.
It is also worth mentioning that the Democratic Party’s stance on religion has been a topic of debate. In 2019, the Democrat National Committee (DNC) unanimously passed a resolution affirming atheism and declaring that neither Christianity nor any religion is necessary for morality or patriotism. However, the Democratic Party’s 2020 platform includes mention of God.
Rednecks and Jews are some hypocrites. When their law state that no one should kill another person, yet they violate their own law by owning a gun and shoot anyway. They seem like broke two commandments, (1) Thou shalt not take the name of Lord thy God in vain and (2) Thou shalt not kill.
If they're truly believe in God they should've let the enemies kill them and they shall ascend to heaven. Somehow they're afraid and bear arms. Jesus is laughing and facepalming in heaven.
I'm going to agree with Ricky Gervais and George Carlin about religion used by bunch of dumb@$$ Americans.

If that's true then anyone that kill, even the atheist, would be condemned? But the Bible has lots of killing during war, battles and skirmishes.
Yes, one of the Ten Commandment forbid killing... however, if you dig into the Hebrew language it was about unlawful killing. We are to not shed innocent blood... Jesus himself tells his disciples to get a sword if they don't have one - meaning; arm yourself for self-defense, protection.
As with the Mosaic laws - it allows the killing of people. e.g. the Exodus narrative describes the people as having turned to idolatry with the golden calf while Moses was on the mountain receiving the law from God. When Moses came down, he commanded the Levites to take up the sword against their brothers and companions and neighbors. The Levites obeyed and killed about three thousand men who had sinned in worship of the golden calf. As a result, Moses said that the Levites had received a blessing that day at the cost of son and brother. On a separate occasion, a blasphemer was stoned to death because he blasphemed the name of the Lord (Yahweh) with a curse.
The Torah and Hebrew Bible made clear distinctions between the shedding of innocent blood versus killing as the due consequence of a crime. A number of sins were considered to be worthy of the death penalty including murder, incest, bearing false witness (perjury) in proceedings of a capital charge, adultery, idolatry, bestiality, child sacrifice to pagan gods, cursing a parent, fortune-telling, homosexuality, and other sins.
It has many other examples of sinners being put to death as due consequence for crimes. Achan is put to death by Joshua because he caused defeat of Israel's army by taking some of the plunder and hiding it in his tent. David ordered that an Amalekite be put to death because he claimed to have killed King Saul. Following the advice of his father, Solomon ordered that Joab be killed:
Jesus command us to turn the other cheek - does not mean when we get slap, turn the other cheek to the other person so he/she can slap it too. What he's implying is that we must have forgiveness and mercy to those that had harmed us be it physical or emotional. e.g. "slap on the face" does not mean actually getting slap physically, it's a metaphor for getting insulted. Jesus is not saying we're to just stand there and let other killed us so we can go to heaven - beside, you can't go to heaven base on good deeds or obeying the laws.
He gave us the right to defend ourselves against our enemy... just as the Jews have the rights to defend themselves against their enemy.
The Ten Commandments is widely misunderstood. It is the basic laws for our relations with God and our neighbors - The first four is our relation and duties to God and the last six are our relations and duties to our neighbors.
