A: Because obviously what Jesus would do is shoot them
Q: Why did the Arkansas house pass this bill?
The entire text is available on Levellers, and it’s a good one. Head over there and read it. I have the same reservations that Michael Westmoreland-White indicates, but that doesn’t detract from the quality of the speech.
… at my Jevlir Caravansary blog. I’m obviously delighted with myself, thus the link!
… and not believing other stuff. I found his whole list pretty interesting and thought provoking. Check it out!
This is too funny (from The Onion). HT: Exploring Our Matrix.
. . . in NRO. Quoth he: “The ‘intelligent design’ hoax is not merely non-science, nor even merely anti-science; it is anti-civilization.”
Since it’s my day to link to Ed (not really, but he has some good posts, here’s an update on the UC admissions case.
On the other hand, you had the case in Colorado a while back where an arm security guard shot and killed a murder who had already killed several people at a Christian dorm, and had come to the church to kill more Christians. The fact that someone at the church had a gun saved a lot of lives. I am not necessarily for taking guns to church, but I dont want killers to think of churches as a place they can go to knowing that no one else there will have a gun.
I’m afraid I’m into trusting God on what happens in church. I am aware of the case in Colorado, but personally I choose “no.”
On the other hand, the headline thing was too much fun to resist!
There have been numerous cases of shootings by intruders at churches, notably in Texas a few years back. Even Columbine had an element of anti-faith bias in the shootings as the shooters sought out “jocks and Christians”. Attacks against Christians, Muslim and Jewish places of worship are fairly common.
In a “right to carry” state, the prohibition against state-sanctioned permit holders having their guns when they attend church is nonsense. Is it more permissible for them to have a concealed weapon in a grocery store than in a church?
You know if you have cops among your church membership there’s a definite chance they’re armed even in services. Same with some military.
When you carry concealed, a lot of folk think it’s an all the time thing or useless.
Well, I see my commenters seem to be in support of such a law. Let me just say that neither your comments, nor the fact (which I already knew) that people do carry concealed weapons in church makes me feel more secure.
But the reasons for that would take more time than a comment, and my whole post was a snarky one liner!
