Left-wing religious officials raced to exploit the Virginia Tech murders by resuscitating their favorite slogans about gun control.
Winning the tackiness contest, National Council of Churches chief Bob Edgar issued a news release within hours of the shootings.
“How many more will have to die before we say enough is enough?” Edgar asked. “How many more senseless deaths will have to be counted before we enact meaningful firearms control in this country? How many more of our pastors, rabbis and imams will have to preside over caskets of innocent victims of gun violence because a nation refused to stop the proliferation of these small weapons of mass destruction?”
Revealingly, Edgar’s quick statement barely mentioned “God,” made no mention of Christ, and quoted no Scripture. Although ostensibly the head of the nation’s chief ecumenical organization for Christian churches, Edgar evidently thought neither the Redeemer nor Holy Writ were all that pertinent in the wake of over two dozen murdered young people. Far more urgent was a renewed push for gun control legislation.

A hell of a lot more deaths, each and every time this Government sends wannabe criminals and mass murderers that Americans are not allowed to possess handguns to defend themselves. I wonder what a different outcome would have been, if one (1) just one Student was trusted enough to carry a handgun onto Campus, and was able to use it to defend himself, and his fellow students? Gun control nuts just don’t get it! The Government can out law every gun in the United States, but, the criminals will not follow the law, thus, the reason they are called “criminals” and will always murder, rob, and rape no matter how many laws are passed saying they can not do that!
Well said.
EXACTLY.. i am not hearing this nearly enough on this story
What would this guy (or his leftist friends) know about God?
What? These are not Mark’s friends.
“How many more will have to die before we say enough is enough?” Edgar asked. “How many more senseless deaths will have to be counted”
What a flipping hypocrite frauds liek Edgar are, acting as if tehy actually care and are actually bothered by things like this. That’s one of the biggest lies going.

The left can only count dead, display the numbers, and do nothing to prevent killing.
Hávamál 38.
Let a man never stir on his road a step
without his weapons of war;
for unsure is the knowing when
need shall arise
of a spear on the way without.
Worse. These people couldn’t wait to politicize the murders for their own objectives.
God is in favor of Gun Control, since HE is in me by the Holy Spirit His and my idea of GUN CONTROL is using TWO HANDS while emptying my magazine into my target either at the range or while defending my self.
All praise to God for two hands. Amen
i am going to have to get that book. looks interesting
Agreed.
