SOAPBOX RANT: Guns
While I'm proud to be married to a veteran who knows how to use a gun to save lives, I will admit that guns scare me. I'm so sensitive to violence that I can't watch PG..much less R movies or even regular TV shows without being haunted by violent images, so I avoid them all. Guns are dangerous in the wrong hands, especially in those of crazy folk who are filled with hatred and deadly intentions.
Ironically, the most devoted Christians who serve the Prince of Peace,who is perfect in both love and mercy, have been the target lately. Of course, the press will not call it a hate crime unless one who is a threat to society, hates Christians, and has terrorist connections and evil intents is targeted instead. The Bible warned us of these days, so we are not surprised or shaken by them. We know how this story ends.
I'm not
nearly as afraid of guns, however, as I am of losing my freedoms to a
corrupt power. I'm not as afraid of guns as I am of walking into a
gun-free zone where one instantly becomes a sitting duck. And even
there, in the firing zone, I am not all that afraid because I know
without a doubt that after I die, I will go home to my Father in Heaven
where there will be no more sorrow, sin, evil, corruption, pain, or need
for guns.
I would welcome a world without guns as gladly as anyone, but as long as there is evil in the world, there will be murders of all kinds by any number of weapons. So until we have no evil, corruption, or sin in the world, gun possession (by guards or responsible individuals) has been proven time and again to be the only effective way to prevent a mass shooting. Killers have no interest in obeying gun restrictions, but they are very interested in making sure they destroy as many lives as possible before being shot themselves, so they enter churches, schools, and other GUN-FREE ZONES where they can get the most bang for their buck.
So, to the one who is paving the way to arm Iran with nuclear weapons, whose mishandling of gun transactions with terrorists resulted in the murder of four Americans at Benghazi, who ran guns to drug cartels in Mexico which were then used to kill more Americans, who relies upon armed guards to keep himself and his family safe, who invites to the White House a boy who brings something that looks just like a bomb into a school and who has questionable connections while refusing to acknowledge, much less welcome, the man who took multiple bullets to stop the Oregon shooter, who speaks lies every time he opens his mouth, and who lives as if he cares about no one but himself, give your gun control agenda a rest for a moment and try to show a little compassion for the lives lost and for the many severely wounded by a sick man whose fires of hatred have been fueled by the press you have manipulated and controlled to divide and weaken America.
