I was raised Democrat. I had problems with that. So I set about educating myself.
There came a time when I addressed the issue of guns. Gun ownership, gun use, gun laws - all of it.
God, being Good, introduced me at that time to the writings of Massad Ayoob. Firmly, yet, gently and clearly, he took hold of my head, and oriented it in the correct direction about guns, and everything concerning them.
Since then, I have had no questions, because he made everything crystal clear.
Thank you, Massad. I consider you a dear friend you have never met.
LOL, I also consider myself a dear friend of yours whom you have never met.
