The usual suspects.
The USUAL “National Council of “Churches”” “Suspects”.
We would be better off if we could ban false prophets!
They would have banned David from carrying a sling.
???
So about 26 people with 70 websites between them?
Yawn.....
I believe in a balanced approach to these issues. If they want to put restrictions on my second amendment rights, then I want the right to decide what "reasonable limits" should be put on their religious practices. Because I suspect that some of them ain't righteous, and I'd like to be the one who decides.
No I am not Jewish but one does not have to be to be a member of the JPFO... or the NRA... or the GOA. I am a member of all three!

“Gun Control is not Kosher” (JPFO)
Jesus clearly advocated a balanced approach to all parts of life (as in Ecclesiastes 3:1), not a life centered on warfare but also not a purely passive life of turning the other cheek. These "Christians" who want the people forcibly disarmed by government need to understand the Bible better. We are to render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's. Since essentially everything is God's, I will retain the weapons necessary to protect the life and the freedom that God gave me.
“Religious leaders attending the U.S. Gun Violence Prevention Sabbath Weekend called for a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines”
Even for police and federal agents?
FAITHS UNITED TO PREVENT GUN VIOLENCE PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
We, The Faiths United to Prevent Gun Violence, are dedicated to eliminating scary-looking guns that account for an extremely small portion of gun violence.
Our hope is that 100% of gun violence will be committed with not-scary-looking guns. This should reduce the fear that gun violence produces in our communities and let the healing begin.
-END-
How about a ban on people who believe it’s OK to murder?
A sabbath is a rest from something. So a “gun control sabbath” group would actually be a group advocating we take a break from gun control.
My JPFO bumper sticker says:
Gun Control Made the Holocaust Possible
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
I like lists like this one. They keep me up to date on which “churches” have been infiltrated by the America/Freedom-hating commie libs. I’ll bet they all support “gay marriage” too.
Dependence on government for personal defense is the ultimate surrender of self to the state. It is an invitation to tyranny that few governments will resist.
Amen brother!!!

Well if they’re not now, they will soon. And members of their congregations are to blame for putting money in their collection plates every week. No givey = no churchy.
We have options, and there are Biblical denominations out there who refuse to cowtow to the Marxist wingnuts in this country.
