Hi Bob, I appreciate your comments, and have a Question for you?
For the Record, I am not a Theologian. The Good book that I personally refer to is the Book of Mormon, Jesus is my Lord and savior.
Your comment: "And democracies that have permitted gun ownership for citizens is a relatively new thing"
What do you consider a “New Thing?
My understanding is that God has no issues with any type of weapon to feed yourself and your family. Also I do not know of any passage that states that are not permitted to protect yourself against enemies that are trying to irradicate you.
The real problem as I see it, which is similar to your view is that Canada is turning it's back on God and Christianity and a Nation that turns it's back on God and Christianity, is a "Ruined Nation".
Anyway, wishing you a Merry Christmas and a great New Year.
