Charlie Daniels: God's in control, but owning a 12-gauge doesn't hurt

As America reels from the one-two punch of the coronavirus pandemic and the resulting economic devastation, followed by the third strike of rioting over the death of a black man in police custody in Minneapolis, country-rock superstar Charlie Daniels says there are things only God controls.

But it doesn't hurt to own a 12-gauge.

In his latest Soap Box column, he said politicians are trying "to take advantage" and media are trying "to scare us even more than we are already."

"The pandemic, the economy, the seeming shutdown of almost everything along with the violence on the streets is enough to keep you depressed, despondent, afraid and confused," he wrote.

So he has several suggestions, including not watching the news all day.

"You’re basically not getting anything new, and the media loves to beat the same old tired horse, and the worse scenario they can project the better they like it," he said.

I believe I’ll help myself to some more ammo.

“The pandemic, the economy, the seeming shutdown of almost everything along with the violence on the streets...”

He’s right to lump it all together.

The Dems REALLY don’t want Trump to win! I hope there is good reason.

Trump’s got to know that his whole family’s gonna hang if he doesn’t get who’s behind this. I wonder if he knew what he was up against, going in?

How does that phrase go? “Praise God and pass the ammo”

I thought I'd look around for another 12-gauge home defense shotgun. Not that I need another one. But I thought another home defense shotgun would be good to have.

Not a chance. It's even worse than toilet paper and face masks were back in March.

I couldn’t explain that to jury. Not with a straight face, anyway.

Well Charlie, I hear what you are saying but having and "USING" are two different things. Unfortunately, even the cops are afraid to shoot an aggressive thug as long as they can run away and leave him to threaten someone other then themselves. Need evidence?

Just watch the video.

Even were you to follow creepy Joe's advice and blow off an aggressor's leg, you'd just be sued into oblivion. And should he bleed out ... manslaughter at the very least! Negligent homicide more likely. After all, you could have run like a coward.

God is in control. God has also prepared my hands for war. Both are true.
