Hang on, anti-christianity childrens.

The god of this world is going to give you exactly what you want.

Enjoy it and all that comes in those 7 years.

Agreed, they don’t even hide their sadistic hatred any more. I ask a simple question. Who in the N.T. says such a thing? What scripture addresses guns? I do recall Jesus saying if someone strikes you turn the other cheek. If they take your cloak do not stop them from taking your tunic.

NYT are communists and atheists. Of course they want to blame Christians and get their guns. Stalin didn't finish the jobs.

some quotes from my file.

“Every Communist must grasp the truth: Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.” Mao Zedong

Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party.” Mao Zedong

“A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery. It cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another.” Mao Zedong, The Little Red Book, 1964

(Anita Dunn admitted she rather liked MZ.)

“Armas para que?” (translated: “Guns, for what?”) by Fidel Castro

"The only good bureaucrat is one with a pistol at his head. Put it in his hand and it's good-by to the Bill of Rights." H.L. Mencken

"Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence, raised in the United States. A military force, at the command of Congress, can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power, and jealousy will instantly inspire the inclination, to resist the execution of a law which appears to them unjust and oppressive."

Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution (Philadelphia 1787)

Let’s be clear. ASKING gun owners to give up their guns is insulting. DEMANDING that we give them up is going to get someone hurt.

I realize the words above are strong. That is intentional. I am trying to convey to gun control advocates and the Mainstream Media the seriousness of what they are doing and the indelicate manner in which they are approaching the issue. DEMANDING that an American citizen give up a constitutional right is bad enough, but demanding that he give up a constitutional right upon which his freedom and his very life may depend is the ultimate insult and is nothing less than an assault on the constitution itself. This we cannot, we will not, abide.

A note to our national legislators-- Those of you supporting gun control legislation should understand it will be a career-ending move on your part. We will brook no such unpleasant nonsense from you.

Gun owners did not seek this fight. We most certainly did not initiate it. Too, we are sick, ad nauseum, of your continuous attacks on our way of life, on our constitutional as well as God given rights as American citizens, and we are sick, beyond words, of your elitist attitude. JD Longstreet

This Longstreet, not the "Passed" Southern General.

It would be much easier if the left would simply make up a list of things they found acceptable, and everything else would be considered racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, violent, extremist...it would probably be a short list.

Not hardly..they are on your side numbnuts!

"In 2000, the General Assembly reaffirmed the church’s commitment to gun control and called for strengthening gun ownership legislation.(5)

In 2008, the General Assembly approved pastoral recommendations urging that:

all persons buying guns at gun shows undergo a background check to close the gun show loophole in 35 states;

ban the sale and possession of large ammunition magazines and assault weapons that have no redeemable social purpose, and cannot legitimately be termed “sporting guns”;

support the introduction of new technologies, such as micro-stamping in which identifying information from a gun is transferred onto bullet cartridges, which allow law enforcement to more easily trace guns and solve crimes; and

stop illegal arms sales by the United States and others.(6)..."

Luke 22:36-38
King James Version

36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.

38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2022%3A36-38&version=KJV

Yes, I have two swords.

Or so ... 😜

So it must have been Christians that were responsible for the largest terror attack on the nation. It happened in NYC.

You cannot remove the stupid stuck to these people, it is a permanent fixture on them.

I have been in church, of various denominations, nearly every Sunday for over sixty tears. I have never heard guns mentioned.
