In his speech before the National Rifle Association’s annual convention in Atlanta on Friday, President Donald Trump said he would protect the Second Amendment, and declared that freedom was “a gift from God.”

“Each of these leaders knows that public officials must serve under the Constitution, not above it,” Trump said, according to Newsweek. “We all took an oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States — and that means defending the Second Amendment. “

"Freedom is not a gift from government. Freedom is a gift from God.”

He gets it. The President needs to keep talking like this and expanding on it, because too many among us don't get it.

That’s what the Founding Fathers said too.

Either it comes from God - whatever you choose to call Him - or the State. OUR Founding Fathers believed it came from HIM. The French believed it came from the STATE and rebelled against God also.

COMPARE THE RESULTS.

Well I don’t know about other foreign countries, but I do know that THIS COUNTRY was founded on the belief of God, it still does, and I believe everything we have came and does come from God...

It does not come from that Allah guy, it does not come from any other fraction...God says: “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last”...

"Freedom is a gift from God."

CNN's Chris Cuomo begs to differ.

Almost - “Liberty” is a gift from God - “freedoms” are determined by governments. That is why, since the Civil War, the term Liberty has been change to Freedom. Freedom of the slaves was granted by government.

Are we to rely on the knowledge, wisdom and understanding of Jefferson or that of Chris Cuomo?
"The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time: the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them." - Thomas Jefferson
It is Jefferson who penned the nation's great document of liberty which acknowledges the Supreme Being in four different manifestations: as Creator, as Nature's god, as Divine Providence, and as the Supreme Judge of the World.

Now, whom do we trust more--Cuomo or Jefferson?

Allah simply means “God” in Arabic. Like Yahweh is a name for God in Hebrew.

Christian Copts and Maronites, etc who are Arabic and speak that language refer to God in their tongue as Allah.

See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allah

Do not allow Islamic Jihadist lunatics to control the debate by controlling language.

We allowed them to do this with “gay” and “immigrants” for illegal aliens.
