Description
Summary:In a recent article, Chris Barrigar has argued that my theological and philosophical case for gun ownership fails. This article critiques Barrigar’s response. I argue that Barrigar’s critique fails because it (a) incorrectly situates my arguments in a libertarian context, (b) inadequately engages with my exegetical arguments, (c) misunderstands and thus fails to engage with the relevant philosophical arguments, (d) ignores my existing work addressing some of his objections, and (e) misinterprets the relevant empirical evidence.
