They should just put a neon sign outside their churches saying “target-rich environment, ISIS”.

The truly evil thing about the concept of “the sin of gun violence” is that it’s anti-biblical in that it deliberately conflates legal, legitimate “gun violence”, like biblicly aythorized self defense, defense of others, and legitimate law enforcement usung firearms with illegal, immoral killing,as in murder. Taking yesterday’s atrocity as an example, this evil, anti-biblical, immoral way of thinking makes the heroic police killing of the mass murderer the moral equivalent of his murdering fifty innocent people. That’s the way to the end of Western Civilization.

Of course, that’s just what the Witch and Obola are trying for with their gun grabbing. Their response to crime and terrorism is to use both as excuses for disarming the very people at whom the crime and terrorism are aimed.

There is a way to minimize gun violence and a kind of “gun control” that would really work.

REQUIRE, as a condition of being allowed to vote or drive an automobile or consume alcoholic beverages, that all persons above the age of fourteen first be given a course in the care, operation, feeding and grooming of sidearms of all kinds, from BB guns to 4-gauge shotguns, including bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles, single-shot or semi-automatic pistols, and revolvers of all calibers. And to qualify to some degree of marksmanship.

The real control comes in with releasing of the safety, jacking a round into the chamber, raising the weapon to position, controlling breathing, sighting in on the target, SQUEEZING off the trigger, ejecting the spent cartridge, and repeating until the sumbish falls down.

11. Provide weapon-free zones

The Orlando night club WAS a gun-free zone. Florida CCW laws prohibit carrying in a bar. That's how the terrorist could be sure HE would be the ONLY one there with a gun.

Muslim control is nowhere on the list.

People’s values determine if they’re good or evil.

It ain’t the guns, stupid.

We are in a battle for the soul of America. Just like clergy during the American Revolution, it is necessary to bear arms.

If you left any later than 1964, you were already behind the power curve.

Just went to our UMC District Conference last week. In the back corner of the basement display area was a small sign welcoming Muslims. AS IF a Muslim was ever going to go to Methodist Conference, much less find the sign in the back corner of the basement. First-hand report: no burka or heavy beard sightings.

I was brought up Methodist.

This is why I no longer am one.

Independent Baptist now.

Beware the workshops. Many are “facilitated” by Delphi-trained activists, meaning the attendees are thoroughly manipulated, and the outcomes pre-determined.

If your church is a WCC member, flee it - it is apostate.

Bring together clergy and mental health care professionals.

To make their homes safe, to lock and store their guns.

Advocate for the eventual reduction of the availability of guns in society.

To provide significant assistance to victims of gun violence and their families.

Every United Methodist Church is officially declared a weapon-free zone.


What ever happened to the separation of Church and State? It sure seems like the church is a mouthpiece for the Obama administration and the drive to disarm responsible, law abiding citizens.

I think it's time to start taxing churches such as this farce religion and preclude them from their cherished tax exempt status for they have become political instruments of the very corrupt regimes that will eventually devour them.

“Gun control. Because it worked so well in France.”

Don't forget the 1930’s in Germany. The Jews did EXACTLY what the Obama administration is trying to accomplish. We all know the result of gun control back then don't we...or do we?

This church should move their entire congregational horde over to Afghanistan and teach them love and warm feelings. See how that works...just don't do it here.

“The United Methodist Church that has been one of safety and sanctuary, every United Methodist Church is officially declared a weapon-free zone.””

I reckon they mean like how “The Pulse” was a weapon-free zone where 100 were shot and 50 killed, right?

I believe the time is near where churches will be targeted by Moslem terrorists, and the Methodists who ignore this and pack heat in the sanctuary will save many lives.
