Where Do Civil Rights Come From?
A popular invalid argument about guns that borders on heresy:
Lucy McBath, featured in the documentary The Armor of Light, argues that the second amendment of the U.S. Constitution does not trump the second commandment of the Bible.
Where to begin?
In the first place, idolatry is definitely a worldwide problem, but I'm not sure what it has to do with this particular argument, except to maybe reveal McBath's confusion.
McBath seems to think that civil rights originate with the government, when in fact our right's are held to be preexisting and "unalienable".
She seems to think that the Second Amendment deals with a 'collective' right that applies only to a "militia", when it is well established and accepted that the right to keep and bear arms is an individual right. Read D.C. v. Heller
And, the word "kill" found in some translations of Exodus Chapter 20:13 is a mis-translation; the correct translation's use the word "murder." Read Exodus 20:13. There is a big difference between 'killing' and 'murder'.
Fundamentally, the "Second Commandment" has nothing to do with the "Second Amendment"!
