mLine 127:
Line 127: − − == Arguments in favour == − − Whilst there are certainly arguments against gun control, the stronger ones are in favour of it. A gun is only a deterrent if one would ''use'' it if threatened, and, from a Christian perspective, this would almost certainly be a sin. It also encourages [[Pride]] in one's ability to defend oneself, which is of course the greatest sin of all.

Compare the cases of Pekka-Eric Auvinen ([[Finland]]) and Robert Steinhäuser ([[Germany]]) with the case of Matthew Murray. The latter was stopped by an armed citizen before he could harm more victims; Auvinen killed 8 people and Steinhäuser killed 16. Both Finland and Germany have gun control laws.
