The California law requires applicants to demonstrate “good cause” for carrying a weapon, like working in a job with a security threat — a restriction sharply attacked by gun advocates as violating the Second Amendment right to bear arms.
Carrying a weapon for self-defense is never condemned in the Bible. In fact, Luke -38 mentions it in a positive light by Jesus Himself. Christians are called to submit to governing authorities, and they are to obey the laws of the land.
Government is expressly forbidden from attempting to infringe on it. The Declaration of Independence asserts that all men are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. In other words, our rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are God-given, not government given.
Finally, as Jesus advised in Luke 22 a Christian may take prudent measures to mitigate potential risks, including taking self-defense courses, lawfully carrying weapons or even acting preemptively against a threat when required to protect life or property.
Out of this bloody travail, the Founders enshrined the God-given right to private firearm ownership in the Second Amendment as “the right of the people to keep and bear arms.” U.S. Const. amend. II.
Andd so, the flip side though is that weapons that are "dangerous and unusual" do not get protection. So even if you might think, oh well that's fairly common. if it's dangerous and unusual. usually meaning if it's mostly used by those who are intent on doing harm unlawfully, then they're not going to be protected.
Cruikshank, one of the Court's holdings was that the Second Amendment only prevented the federal government from infringing on a person's right to bear arms. In other words, the Second Amendment's guarantees do not protect people from private actors or state governments that may try to prevent them from bearing arms.
In short, the Supreme Court did its job by announcing that the Second Amendment does not protect assault weapons—precisely because they are meant for the battlefield and are not “in common use at the time for lawful purposes.” Id. at 624-25, 627-28; Kolbe, 849 F. 3d at 131.
Federal law outlaws the possession of firearms or ammunition by several categories of people, including: convicted felons. anyone who's been convicted of a misdemeanor for domestic violence or is under a domestic violence restraining order.
