According to Wikipedia, firearms, or guns, were not invented until the 12th century in China. So it is safe to say that the Bible - written much earlier than that! - doesn't say much about guns. It does say much about violence, however. Our Lord Jesus says:
"I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be ye therefore wise as serpents and harmless as doves." - Matthew 10:16
Christians need to exercise some of this wisdom in the current gun control debate. The issue is not whether private citizens should be allowed to own military assault weapons that could be used to kill dozens of innocent people very quickly. Unless you are planning to secede from the union, I don't see any reason why a private citizen should own any weapons other than a handgun to protect their family from an intruder intent on doing them harm, or a rifle to be used to legally kill wildlife that they intend to eat.
The Devil doesn't care about the Second Amendment to the Constitution. He loves violence and violent people like Sandy Hook Killer Adam Lanza (See Satan Worship Motivated Sandy Hook Killer?). Perhaps, rather than go after our guns, we should pass laws outlawing Satan worship!
While the Devil doesn't care much about the Second Amendment to our Constitution, he cares very deeply about the First Amendment which says:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging of freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Christians don't need the government's permission to preach the gospel and tell people about our Lord Jesus. We are going to do that with or without the government's blessing (see Acts 4:20 and Acts 5:29). But the Devil knows if he can get rid of the First Amendment, he can make it much harder for Christians to fulfill their mandate from their Lord, to "Preach the gospel to every creature." (Mark 16:15).
And getting rid of the Second Amendment will make it much easier to get rid of the First. If you think that is just being paranoid, take some time to listen to the following podcast by Pastor Sean Harris:
