Father Michael Pfleger says increasing the purchasing age for an assault weapon is not the answer to America’s gun problem.

"Assault weapons are weapons of war," he said. "In this country, they should not be for sale."

According to Chicago police, more than 400 assault weapons have been seized by officers so far this year.

In an effort to get more weapons off the street, Saint Sabina is offering up to $200 for assault weapons at a gun turn-in event this Saturday.

"Father Michael Pfleger" All anyone needs to know. Don't give a crap about anything this POS has to say. In this country he should not be allowed to preach. Tit for tat?!

Hey Father — Step 1) Let’s get rid of that pesky First Amendment Freedom of Religion thing and shut you down, then we can move on to Step 2) Let’s get rid of the right to keep and bear arms.

Maybe the “church” should offer $200 for turning in molesters instead.

Pfleger just might be looking to pick up some easy bargains for his uh... his flock, let’s say.

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

The religious hierarchy of America should include in their ordination ceremonies a statement of support, defense and protection of the Constitution OF the united States.

They DO after all, stand behind Constitutional proterctions in a court of law.

Pfleger has been pastor at St. Sabina parish in Englewood for over three decades; of the 50 neighborhoods in Chicago that the web-site ‘Hey Jackass’ tracks, Englewood is currently #1 with the most homicides. Methinks maybe Pfleger needs to work on his preaching skills a bit.

This isn’t about “a church”. Its about a so called ‘Father’ lunatic Michael Pfleger.

Yeah, but how many firearms of any type were seized? How many non-firearm dangerous weapons?

Don't flood me with facts; I desire the truth.

Since my 85(+) year old rifle has 30-US-06 stamped on the barrel, would it be considered a "weapon of war"?

This would be illegal in Colorado as a background check would be needed. and a licensed gun dealer would have to be there to handle the paperwork.

They also did that in Los Angeles-—2 times.

Then there was the Mayor who actually gave CASH to the gangs to stop killing each other.....

THAT didn’t work, either.
