Judges 3:12-23 source: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Judges+3%3A12-30&version=KJV
King James Version (KJV)
12 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord: and the Lord strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the Lord.
13 And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.
14 So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
15 But when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, the Lord raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab.
16 But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh.
17 And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man.
18 And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present.
19 But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.
20 And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat.
21 And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:
22 And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.
23 Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them.
The commonwealth did evil in the eyes of the Lord by seeing the state as savior and sought the aribtrary laws as its solution. How can the State become savior? Freeing the children from ignorance and seeking protection from evil. By example a person is caught stealing the neighbor can ask for recompense of equal or greater value which is placed on what is stolen. The heathen would either throw the thief into prison or have the person executed for the crime.
exodus 22:2b
Anyone who steals must certainly make restitution, but if they have nothing, they must be sold to pay for their theft. 4 If the stolen animal is found alive in their possession—whether ox or donkey or sheep—they must pay back double.
code of Hammurabi http://www.commonlaw.com/Hammurabi.html
6. If a man has stolen goods from a temple, or house, he shall be put to
death; and he that has received the stolen property from him shall be put to
death.

After eighteen years under the tyrant's thumb the people cried out to the Lord for deliverance and thus God chose Ehud. Since the Israelites were foreigners in their own land was it permissable for the Judge to own or carry a double edge sword? No. Yet he resisted the tyrants laws and carried a concealed weapon knowing if caught it meant his execution. How is the fed treating its own citizens like? Foreigners. Yet, the gun adovcates believe the salvation of the state abiding with its law (purchase of a license) in which to punish them for not accepting their place as posessions of the tyrant to manipulate (correct) as demeed fit. Why is it futile to use the second admendment it was placed in there to prevent arming of the milita while prohibiting the citizens from having access (producing of own firearms) and forcing seizure (license) of weapons. Freedom is being defined going to liscense dealer rather than of producing and maintaing of ones own arms (military grade) without forfeiture (government knowing you have firearms). Who gains from the lack of knowledge the Fed (tyrant) and not the suppose 2nd amendment supporter. Finally firearms safety is absolutely necessary but you do not need the government to tell you that right....
