The correct answers are
A: The Talmud states that “one may not raise a vicious dog in his house, and that one may not set up an unstable ladder in his house,” both of which would be dangerous. Some Jewish scholars maintain that the same restriction would apply to gun ownership, as that would be similarly dangerous.
and
B: The 13th-century Spanish commentator Nachmanides says that when Lemach (Adam’s great-great grandson) taught his son to smelt metal, his wives protested that this would enable the making of swords, which would be destructive. Some commentators cite this as a reason to forbid the making and owning of guns.
and
C: The 13th-century Spanish commentator Nachmanides says that when Lemach (Adam’s great-great grandson) taught his son to smelt metal, his wives protested that this would enable the making of swords, which would be destructive. However, Nachmanides went on to say that Lemach’s great grandfather Cain killed Abel without a sword. Some commentators cite this as a reason not to forbid the making and owning of guns—in other words, swords (and guns) don’t kill people, people do.
and
D: Many gun advocates point to the Talmudic dictum from Abba ben Joseph bar Hama, known as Rava, that if someone comes to kill you, you should kill him first. They argue that this is a clear justification for owning and when necessary, using guns in self-defense.
