If a law is just and comes from a legitimate authority, we are bound to follow it. I would err on the side that government confiscation of guns would be unjust

there are no legitimate authorities left here on earth that call themselves states and make laws

>>567757

Absolutely not

>>567757

No, neither would deporting those threatening the Christian natives. This happened several times in the ot iirc.

>>567757

Live by it, die by it.

You cling to your gun when they come to take it away, they will shoot you with their gun. The cycle continues. It's your choice.

>>567786

I guess this is the proper answer assuming op is american.

>>567862

That's fine. I don't believe it would be sinful to die because of this.

>>567860

>restricting access to guns is in the authority of the state

Not in burgerland. Any laws restricting access to guns are technically illegal, per 2A. (((they))) are the ones sinfully flouting their own laws and authority.

Would resisting suicide be sinful if the government made a law that mandates all Christians to kill themselves?

>Any laws restricting access to guns are technically illegal

Not exactly. The 10th Amendment allows individual States the right to do anything not prohibited by the Constitution. It's what allows a State to put sales tax on a firearm or to keep firearms out of the hands of the mentally ill or the incarcerated. If the whole of the Constitution were the 2nd Amendment, then there would be no way to stop a prisoner from buying a gun.

Though I suppose that would make prisons way more entertaining.

Even the disciples carried swords, and jesus didn't chastise them for using them.

Matthew 26:52

>>567757

To not resist tyrants who will kill your neighbor is sinful. See 1 Kings 12 especially verse 24.

>>567791

They still exist anon, like Poland or a small American municipal government

>>568099

Traditionalist anarchism is not necessarily anti-authoritarian. It simply recognizes the distinction between true, proper authority and unjust, feigned authority.

 Luke 22:36

>>568104

I wasn't disagreeing with you

>>568105

>>567910

Do these verses really mean anything in regards to the OP, though?

>>568106

That wasn't me you were replying to, anon.

>>568108

didn't notice, long day at work

>>568107

I was pointing out that Christ commanded his disciples to forego amenities, such as a cloak, in order to obtain defensive instruments (the equivalent, in that day, to a firearm). The other verse was in the context of Christ's soteriologically necessary crucifixition.
