Australian Gun Owners Should Consider The Source Of Their Rights
BY Herschel Smith

I’m in favor of the right to bear arms, even though they don’t apply in Australia, but when making the argument against gun control being ineffective you must consider that the countries in this world aren’t completely isolated entities and the freedom one allows for firearm ownership can impact the ability for another to enforce a stricter control.
In a perfect world, I believe we would all be best served with an international standard minimum level of registration …
Hold it right there. The reader David quotes has just run off the rails. It wasn’t intentional, there was no malice of forethought. But he’s off the rails nonetheless.
This is a well done commentary by David and a heavily commented one. It’s worth your time to read it all, including the comments. David points out in his column that rights don’t come from the government, but I must emphasize that only by understanding that the very basis of your existence, and certainly of your rights, depends upon the only sovereign God in heaven, can one understand that gun control is wicked.
At its root, gun control is usurpation, a replacement of man’s right with God’s right to dictate the terms of our existence. It is a corollary of what caused the fallen world to begin with, i.e., the man who would be like God.
