On a related point, I’ve oft noted that during the NOLA confiscations, the only guns confiscated were the ones whose owners meekly handed ‘em over or were too weak to resist. Some were confronted with confiscation, and left alone - because it was clear any attempt to disarm would result in great harm to both sides.

Judging by his record in office so far, it's more likely his real sympathies lie with the Muslim Brotherhood than with the American people.

Indeed.

And I agree it would be better if we Americans owned all of the privately owned guns.

I join earnestly in your prayer, dearest sister in Christ!

I pray constantly that the Holy Spirit will continue to abide with those who live in America who love their Lord Jesus Christ, Logos Alpha–Omega, Savior, and Final Judge. I pray for nothing less than a third Great Spiritual Reawakening in America which (it seems to me) only the "saving remnant" can advance at this time....

These Spiritual Reawakenings have been exceptionally powerful, transformative events in American history. The first presaged the American Revolution; the second, the Emancipation and the Civil War....

We live in extraordinary times. I pray those who love the Lord will rise to the challenges by standing firm in God's truth as revealed to us in four revelations, in loving faith and trust in Him....

The Son is Truth incarnate in the World. He is of one Substance with the Living God, His Father; and God's Name is: I AM.

AMEN!

Take out the Male population ages 18-35 in one specific Ethnic Group and the USA would probably tie Switzerland.

The Kenyan Impostor wants to get rid of all US nukes, so we need SOME kind of deterrent! ;)

"50%+1 they dont know how many I own."

Without doing a thorough inventory, even I don't know how many I own... '-)

We must assume that stoning teenage girls to death — or any other form of “honor killing” — is not counted as murder in Pakistan...

My dear friend and brother in Christ, you are so very lucky (is that the word?) to live in a community that takes God seriously.

As you are well aware from your own experience, something like this is very rare in Massachusetts nowadays.

Yet it seems to me that when God has been "removed," insanity and social disorder are the inevitable results.

Thank you so much, dear, for writing!

IMHO, the term is, "doubly blessed"... :-)
