What does Balaam and the Angel have to do with the 2nd Amendment?

   In the Bible, there is the story of Balaam and the Angel. And, I wonder if it doesn't offer some insight on what we should do regarding the Second Amendment.
   The prophet Balaam was enroute to see Balak, who wanted Balaam to curse the Israelites.  As Balaam  and his donkey travel, an angel wielding a sword blocks their path. The donkey sees the angel, but Balaam doesn't.
   I wonder if Balaam not seeing the angel is symbolmatic. Balaam wanted to serve the king of the Moabites. He wanted to help them. Was he so desirous of favoring the king that he was blinded to the fact the Lord was not going to curse His own chosen people? The angel represented the Lord's will, but Balaam was so blinded that he could not see the angel.
  Someone might say that even a dumb (animal) could see the Lord did not want Balaam to serve a king who opposed to the Lord's people, yet here Balaam was a prophet of God and he could not see it.
   Even so, anytime we let our own wishes, desires and beliefs block our view, we block the path of revelation.
  What does this have to do with the Second Amendment and whether it should be changed? I have suggested that if America is to prosper, its leaders must remain inspired. Even as our forefathers were inspired, we also need to be. Wisdom once, must be wisdom going forward.
   But, that inspiration will not come if we are not open to receiving it -- if we block its path with our own desires and suppositions.
    Truth is truth. It will stand up to reasoning. We should study and consider this issue and be ready to accept whatever truths might be. We should look not to vindicate our own beliefs and wants, but to see and accept the truth.
    Some might say that even as God would not condemn his own people (the Israelites), even so, He would not condemn His own inspired document (the Constitution). Others might say that even as He wouldn't join sides with the Moabites and advocate against His own cause, even so he wouldn't join sides with the gun, the tool of murder, and advocate for it.
   Both of those analogies are fun to consider. Rather than rejecting one in favor of the other, I would suggest we accept them both. Just like the angel standing in front of Balaam and his donkey was something he should have seen, we should be able to see truth in both of these analogies. If we reject either, it is a sign we, like Balaam, are blind to the truth.
  But, let us realize the real question is whether guns are harmful, or whether they are helpful. Or, rather, when they are harmful, and when they are helpful. Just as both of the analogies are true, even so it is true that guns can be both harmful and helpful. If we are wise, we will determine when the gun is helpful, and when it isn't -- and we will make our laws accordingly.
   Often, inspiration is no more than seeing truth and accepting it. Wisdom is no more than this. The things that are obvious, you accept them. Those who fight against truth are neither inspired nor wise.
