Leftists Fight “Gundamentalism”
Cross Action News ^ | 7-7-08 | Mark D. Tooley

The “God Not Guns” coalition is predictably upset about the U.S. Supreme Court’s overturning the Washington, D.C., handgun ban.

“It will embolden adherents of GUNdamentalism in their belief in the inerrancy of the 2nd Amendment,” intoned the Rev. Nancy Smith, coalition founder and chief. “Gundamentalism is a religious movement without spiritual grounding. Rather, it is rooted in the sale and promotion of violence.”

So apparently according to Rev. Nancy Smith, a defenseless woman raped and beaten is somehow less violent than a dead rapist and a smoking gun in a woman’s hand?

People who value the religious freedom described by the First Amendment ought to have equivalent respect for the freedom described in the Second Amendment.

“It will embolden adherents of GUNdamentalism in their belief in the inerrancy of the 2nd Amendment,”

Let's give her credit, she acknowledges what the Second Amendment is, but disagrees with it. She is welcome to try to get a Constitutional Amendment passed to realize her vision of a better order.

Leftists are never honest enough to play within the rules to achieve their goals.

They’d rather not have to go through the messiness of a constitutional amendment when you can so much more easily sway 5 people to your side of the argument.

This thread has just added to the FreeRepublic "bang list" (firearms interest list) by adding the keyword "banglist".

Any time a firearms-related thread is created on FreeRepublic, please be sure to add the "banglist" keyword to it so that interested FReepers don't miss it. Just a suggestion.

guns don’t kill,

people do.

it’s called behavior, bitch.

either you’re responsible or not.

libs don’t want to hold people responsible for bad behavior.

She's got the 2nd Amendment confused with Islam

How do we bring about God’s Kingdom - with an open heart or with a gun in hand?

If we even could "bring about God's Kingdom," my guess is that it would require both.

The root tenet of liberalism is that

the responsible should be forced to pay for the behaviorial decisions of the irresponsible.

This extends to the policy of “someone poops their pants and we ALL have to wear diapers”.

Actually, if you go to their site, they have some interesting partners, including the ‘Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation’

http://www.godnotguns.org/

http://www.bradynetwork.org/site/PageServer?pagename=GNG_partners

Do NOT go to masnet.org, flagged as a harmful site

http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6263

Now why would the ‘Religion of Peace’ want to see us disarmed?

"It offers power, freedom, self-determination and protection all in the metal casing of a gun. With the gun as its icon, the 2nd Amendment as its creed, gundamentalism proclaims that nothing is as sacred as the right to own a gun.”

Preach on sister!!! I will say that I believe all of the bill of rights (and I include the 14th amendment in that) to be sacred.

I wouldn’t trust these people to speak for me personally. I certainly don’t trust them to speak for my God.
