Gun ‘buy back’ minister charged with kidnapping, assault(OH)
Gun Rights Examiner ^ | 13 February, 2011 | David Codrea

“Local pastor charged in assault,” the Akron Beacon Journal reports. “Minister accused of speeding off in Lexus with repo man on hood.”

If the repo man’s story bears out, it sounds like a pretty wild ride:

He said the pastor was smiling during parts of the drive as he weaved and made sharp moves in an apparent effort to toss the repo man off.

''He hit the windshield wipers to try to knock my hands off the hood,'' Falzini said. ''He was laughing at me, telling me he was going to take me on the interstate.''

Pastor Marc Neal is in a heap of trouble:

A month after the incident, Neal has been charged with felonious assault, kidnapping and abduction.

Here they are: Counts one, two and three.

But curious thing about Neal. He’s a prominent local activist pushing citizen disarmament as the way to stop the violence.

''As community leaders we must promote safety. The possession of guns increases the risk of tragedy,'' Neal said.

Believing something needed to be done to get illegal guns off the streets, Neal approached the Akron Police Department and the Summit County's Sheriff's and Prosecutor's offices, with the gun buyback idea.

And it’s not just “on the streets” where Neal wants to remove the guns. From the following year’s event:

"It relieves the easy access of guns being available inside the home," Neal said.

All things considered, I guess that’s understandable.

And hardly surprising.

Funny thing about some people who don’t trust the rest of us with guns…

What’s up with the preacher man owning (until it was repossessed) a Lexus?

Preachers make good money. It is more about how much you bring in each Sunday rather than what you give out each Sunday.

"Explanation of the source of the left’s ideology can be found here: John 8:44"

EXACTLY
"..Now, just as a central purpose of religion is to order the soul, the central purpose of politics is to order the collective. But again, not for its own sake, but for the possibility of higher things (which ultimately revert back to the order of the soul). Thus, a government of disordered souls who only increase political disorder is actually a real evil, and should be recognized as such. .."
