Summary:
1. Convene workshops (get a bunch of liberals together and talk about how bad guns are....kind of like Stasi meetings in East Germany)
2. & 3. Educate the community (find out how much smarter you are than your gun owning knuckle dragging churchgoer next to you. Tell them how stupid guns are)
4. 5. & 6. Advocate for regulation (Ban the guns, GOD will protect us! Vote for Democrats who consistently take away personal freedoms!)
7. and 8. Discourage promotion of gun usage (Call out your neighbor like this:
9. Assist victims (pray for them...don't protect them with guns!)
10. Name the sin and point to hope. (Just pray as you are being murdered. Being a pacifist and having your head sawn off is better than using a gun to defend yourself.
11. Provide weapon-free zones (Nevermind how gun free zones have worked out recently) .
They can talk about “the sin of gun violence” but not “the sin of faggotry”...
Glad I quit the UMC.
I left when it was apparent they were going left.....
Ah yes. Weapons free zones.
The Muslims would never dare attack those.
Leftist stupidity. It just does not end.
You want to stop Muslim radicals killing people? Easy. Get rid of the Muslims.
The typical UMC approach: study, confer, issue statements, study again. And again. Confer some more. Issue more statements. Talk about love. Don’t talk about sin. Avoid the real problem. Kick the can.
But should we do more? Is there anything that can be done to keep something similar from happening in the future?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ban Muslim/middle east immigration (Except Jewish), deport those who are already here.
Do not elect Hillary.
Glad we don’t belong to the Methodist Church: Church of the Sitting Duck. Every militant with ill intent knows where to find a defenseless group to slaughter and get wall to wall media coverage.
Gun control. Because it worked so well in France.
As expected. The mainstream churches, media and left refuse to admit the truth, that islam is violent and inspires its adherents to destroy and kill.
They hate Whites and Christianity so much, they love the fanatics who hate Whites and Christianity, and give them a free pass.
Islam did it. I condemn the murders.
I guess that, whilst I still consider myself a Methodist, I will no longer consider myself United....
This is the type of nonsense you get when the children are running things.
No problem, they'll be storing guns armory style, when those Methodist Churches are converted into Mosques, shortly.
News flash for UMC the community is already “educated” about guns. It is YOU who need to get educated.
The problem is that no one in that nightclub was carrying a gun.
If five hundred dancing gays were carrying five hundred guns, and that fact was publicly known, the damned Muslims wouldn’t even have shown up.
Nothing too new. The United Methodists have supported a total handgun ban for decades now.
Good way to stop gun violence- armed parishoners.
They should just put a neon sign outside their churches saying “target-rich environment, ISIS”.
The Orlando night club WAS a gun-free zone. Florida CCW laws prohibit carrying in a bar. That's how the terrorist could be sure HE would be the ONLY one there with a gun.
Bkmrk.
