Does it seem odd to you all the high-profile shootings lately just as they are trying to reintroduce gun bills in the Senate?

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Do you mean it seems odd to you? Odd, how exactly? Do you have a theory?

Whut? "They" are running homicidal maniacs to get gun laws passed? Get a grip, son.

Use your brain before posting. Nonsense like that is how our enemies make the whole board look loony.

Travis wrote about this scenario in his book, "Enemies Foreign and Domestic".

I would not put anything past the gun grabbers.

I know this is probably going to bring some laughs from a few but I seriously believe in the battle between good and evil. On the spiritual level. It is evil that causes crimes like this horrible one, the Atlanta Courtroom Killer/Nichols, BTK, the rash of teachers involved with students, the high level of crimes by those in world leading positions, and etc. The evil "spirit" twists people's minds to perform evil acts, just as God guides us to do good. So much is happening lately that has been influenced by the dark side, the evil "spirit."

Most of us here, I assume, are strong supporters of President Bush, and many feel he is a man of principle and very spiritual. He is a good person, who surrounds himself with good people, and who openly admits to his relationship with God. He has fought evil, and brought a lot of good to the world again. If one believes in God, as our great President does, one must also accept that there is a force of Evil, and that evil is struggling for control. Call it the devil, whatever.

When evil is threatened, it becomes heightened to fight for survival. All these crimes, in our homes, neighborhoods, schools...teachers, terrorists, political leaders, etc...all this dark "stuff" surfacing - this is evil fighting back.

Now I am not an every Sunday church goer, but I have strong beliefs and faith. I remember the lessons I was taught, and that we must always be watchful of the power of evil. It disguises itself in many ways - sometimes in the persona of national leaders, ala Clinton, who so many thought and still think is a good person, sometimes in massive movements like the campaigns to take "God" out of our country's documents, buildings, schools. Like pro-choice movements, people who favor "mercy killing," gay marriages, etc. And sometimes in lifestyles of groups like the wild lives of the Hollywood bunch who have flaunted morality in the face of believers.

These people can rationalize their positions in grandiose, intellectual ways, and sound very convincing and considerate of others' difficulties. But, in effect, their desires are to drive us away from God and our belief and faith in His laws.

We must be of this world, and at the same time, be aware of the spiritual world. Prayer is our strongest ally, and best hope at times like these, as we struggle to keep from falling under the spell of, or control of evil people. The battle is real, we must recognize it is going on.

No. Not odd at all. In actual numbers I think the numbers of shootings have declined. HOWEVER, the leftist media goons ARE publicising each one to maximum advantage in a blood dance to further their goals.

"High profile" stories (gun shootings or pitbull attacks) are the result of newsroom editors, not "quickening" of events.

The criminal yesterday STOLE a gun from a lady cop who if not for political correctness would probably not be assigned to a job guarding a man she could not beat in a fight.

NO change to gun laws (even prohibiting the possession of all guns except law enforcement) would have prevented yesterday's courthouse rampage.

The blame must be put on the security detail.

Actually on this one I would give the press a pass, because these shootings are so tragic, sensational and scary. In other words this would make headlines across the country no matter what and this is definitely out of the norm for the American people.

You noticed that, too (again!)

I wonder if there is something in the water...

I would bet medication is involved somewhere.
