... if I ever emigrate to America I'd head for the nearest gun shop the instant I stepped off the plane..

As a Brit, I heartily approve of your decision to depart these shores.

Thanks, if I ever I do go to America I'll hope to shack up with a woman like this one, she can rope me, throw me and brand me any time she likes..-

We holy men don't do "rules"..
"The Lord made my mouth a sharp sword,an arrow in his quiver" (Isaiah 49:1/2)

"Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities [snip]"..(Romans 13:1-5)

You will "do rules" while you're here, Dipshit. If you want to stay here.

That verse you quoted in red was simply Paul wisely reminding the small Christian community in Rome itself  to keep their heads down!
Elsewhere he's quite specific that Christians are at war with the world in a spiritual "clear the swamp" sense-
 "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil.." (Eph 6:12)
As for me "wanting to stay here", I've got neutral feelings about it just like I've always had neutral feelings about every forum I've ever been in over the past 15 years, I'm either banned on rare occasions (in which case it boosts my street cred with my fans), or else I simply move on when I feel the calling, it's what we holy men do..
"Jesus went through all the towns and villages" (Matt 9:35)
