Violence Is Never The Fault Of The Tool
BY Herschel Smith

The very first sentence is an admission of the utter failure of every fraudulent infringement Feuer — and the L.A. government he has been a prominent part of for decades — have mandated by diktat in the name of “gun safety.” Not only has the state of California attained the highest “gun laws” grade from both the Brady Campaign and the Giffords gun-grab groups but Feuer and every person he submitted his latest citizen disarmament scheme to has built a powerful political career on Second Amendment subversion.
If their edicts really did work, why is there “increasing gun violence”? Isn’t proposing new prohibitions not only a masked admission that none of them have, and that the violence monopolist will never have enough until they have it all? And what do we call those whose control is total?
Violence has been around since the fourth chapter of the book of Genesis, and will be with us until the Lord returns. The fault isn’t the implement.
The implement could be rocks, sticks, hammers or pitchforks. No one addresses the root cause because they don’t believe in God, the only one who can solve these problems.
The solution is found in family and church, when those institutions bow their knee to King Jesus. The solution to problems almost never is founded in the state. The state only makes things worse.

1) It is only the church, that is Christ, which is restorative and can rehabilitate a man, NOT the State. (This is fully scalable to the couple in marriage, the family, your clan, your town, your state, and your country! Listen real good: ONLY the gospel of Jesus Christ can save America.)
“24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.” Romans 3:24-26 ( and many many others)
2) It is the family which is preventive. Only the family through proper raising of the young can prevent crime. NOT police, not the State.
“Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.” Exodus 20:12 (the Fifth Commandment of Holy God)
And
“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6
3) Ultimately God is law giver and Judge. The State’s role is only and solely punitive against sin. The State can’t prevent crime (sin), and it can’t save (rehabilitate) a man.
“2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:” Romans 13:2-3
When any one of this three fold cord is broken, or misallocated to the wrong unit, the entire thing falls apart. You may not like this but it’s the truth. The truth of God’s created order doesn’t care one whit about your arrogant pride in trying to fix this any other way than that which is very specifically commanded by God Almighty for your instruction in righteousness given within His holy word. Go ahead, destroy your civilization trying to do this your own way, you silly silly little fools.

Romans chapter 1 clearly explains why the fallen world is the way it is. Herschel and Fred are absolutely correct.
Romans 1: 28-32
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.
