“Thou shalt not kill.” (Exodus 20:13 – the sixth of the Ten Commandments) The LORD enjoins all that He commands! What does the Sixth Commandment mean; to allow killing with impunity, as a pacifist? Heaven forbid it, it means that all life is precious to Holy God (Genesis 9:6) and therefor it is just to defend your life and your people where (when) threatened. I don’t know Mr. Costa, this is not slam on him or his family. My comment is meant to be instructive in a general nature. Mr. Costa is correct, but the reasons are not lifestyle, although emulation is the best way, and obtw that is exactly how your children learn regardless, for the most part, of what comes out your mouth, a lifestyle, well that’s not good enough. It may have been good enough when men knew of where their duties and therefor rights came, but no more, America is past that time. If you make the assumption that emulation alone will do it, you are wrong. The emulation MUST be directed to Holy God and His commands or you’re simply creating another generation of lifestyle NRA-tards. From Numbers 1:2-4 we find the usefulness, as a case in point, of teaching the youth. “Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, after their families, by the house of their fathers, with the number of their names, every male by their polls; From twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel: thou and Aaron shall number them by their armies. And with you there shall be a man of every tribe; every one head of the house of his fathers.” War in that time was a nasty business of hacking men to death, usually to die days later in agony. In order for a man, YES MAN, of twenty years to be able to go to war, hand to hand with the rude instruments of the day, he, YES HE, must have been training from the day of his earliest attained maturity, not age, maturity, as seen through his father’s eyes, in prayer to Holy God, if yet the boy be ready to train. Although the weapons and tactics have changed the lesson by God’s Holy Word remains. (but still; do you have hand weapons skills?) This is why you teach you’re young boys to war, because it is the Law of God, sadly, in this fallen world, it’s a necessity. You have a duty! And, you should teach your daughters as well. With the importation of millions of barbarians, understand that your daughters and granddaughters virtue belongs to Holy God, do you hear me men, YOUR DAUGHTERS VIRTUE BELONGS TO GOD, You must teach your girls to protect hearth and home but most importantly, their virginal integrity before God. Even if you don’t believe in God, you are without excuse to teach these things to your children, and, you are without excuse when… Read more »

Too complicated for who? I don’t know him or disagree with him. my comment is general in nature as I stated and not that I was hiding it, but evangelical, to perhaps explain how a man arrives at this point of worship and family and firearms as more than just a lifestyle. I suppose it’s to whoever God would have stumble upon this post. It’s not complicated, it’s only a mystery to those who don’t know God and perhaps I should have stated that up front. Believe, then worship, family, and firearms are right before God.
