Senator Edward Markey (D-MA) is pushing legislation that could prevent churches around the country from using a “security services unit” comprised of concealed carriers in congregations, parishes, etc.

The bill is the Preventing Private Military Act of 2024, and it is co-sponsored by Senator Laphonza Butler (D-CA)

“..The people who are pushing this should be executed for treason....”

IF it happened today, they’d be no shed tears in these parts...

“..senator from Massachusetts...”

Now, everyone can see why we call that state: MassHoleLand....

I really miss the Constitution of The United States of America. It was a really good foundation for solid government.

An attempt to disarm the States of the United States.

My SBC church pays an armed sheriff’s deputy to sit in our parking lot during services in a police car........but if anything got past him or her there would be return fire inside the sanctuary.

I have permission from the vestry to carry concealed. Do they plan to supersede the owners permission?

Not to worry, as an earlier document has the solution:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,

 that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,

 that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--

 

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men,

 deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --

 

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends,

 it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government,

 laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form,

 as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

 

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes;

 and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable,

 than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

 

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design

 to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government,

 and to provide new Guards for their future security.--

 

Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies;

 and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.

 

The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations,

 all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.

 

To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

Do they plan to supersede the owner's permission?

They are planning to supercede anything they want!

This is just a hint at the iron-fanged totalitarianism that is coming in the Tribulation. Get saved now.

It certainly will be here in Texas.

[MayflowerMadam]

LOL! In Tennessee. I don’t THINK so.

Not a danged chance here in Alabama, the most conservative and Christian state in this Republic!! Ole Miss and Bama are routinely voted 1-2 in these areas the last article I read on the subject. But NO chance here. Heck, in January we had the new law that no longer requires a permit to be ARMED for Law Abiding Citizens who are legally to possess a firearm. Danged thugs and criminal elements, the VERY reasons to be armed at all times. I don’t care what the liberals say, THE Constitution and Bill of Rights say I have a right to be armed!! As long as those two documents exist, I will be armed. I will do what I have to protect my wife and I against ALL enemies, crooks, thieves, murders, thugs, invasion from within by terrorists, whatever. I may go down in a blaze of glory, but I spilled my blood for this Republic, thus think I have EARNED the RIGHT to be armed!!! See ya. Stay safe out there. Be armed. It is your right.

[Jane Long]

Amen, amen!!

Ditto, for TX.

I thought the "private military" was the militia of the people.
