Philly’s Archbishop Chaput: ‘Only a fool’ can believe gun control will solve mass violence

After a violent weekend in which two mass shootings claimed the lives of 31 people in Texas and Ohio, Philadelphia Archbishop Charles Chaput didn’t offer thoughts and prayers.

He offered criticism of those who think gun control is the solution.

...only a fool can believe that ‘gun control’ will solve the problem of mass violence,” he wrote in his weekly column, which was posted on the Archdiocese of Philadelphia’s website, CatholicPhilly.com, and his Facebook page.

Chaput further wrote: “The people using the guns in these loathsome incidents are moral agents with twisted hearts. And the twisting is done by the culture of sexual anarchy, personal excess, political hatreds, intellectual dishonesty, and perverted freedoms that we’ve systemically created over the past half-century."

The archbishop identifies the problem correctly.

Our degraded morals leads to degraded actions.

+Chaput turns 75 on September 26. His mandatory resignation will be accepted by Pope Francis at approximately 12:01 am on that date, whether or not it Chaput has formally tendered it. Bergoglio long ago drew a bead on him, specifically citing him to +Vigano as the sort of “right winger” he wanted gone.

It is a shame +Chaput has to retire while Pope Frank is still on the job.

Here’s the Formula: Hatred + Government + Disarmed Civilians = Genocide

What makes the argument so powerful? Two factors.

First, it makes common sense: unarmed defenseless people have no hope against armed
aggressors.

Second, it states the historical truth: evil governments did wipe out 170,000,000 innocent non-military lives in the 20th Century alone.

When the gun prohibitionists quote a statistic about how many people are killed by firearms misuse, the discussion sometimes bogs down into whose crime statistics to believe and how to count crimes vs. the defensive firearm uses.

In the 20th Century:

• Governments murdered four times as many civilians as were killed in all the international and domestic wars combined.
• Governments murdered millions more people than were killed by common criminals.

How could governments kill so many people? The governments had the power - and the people, the victims, were unable to resist. The victims were unarmed.

For the chilling reality after National Gun Control is enacted go to the link below:

Thanks to SanchoP for finding and posting this ultimate argument against any national gun
control!

Maybe the Philly Archbishop can talk to the idiot Archbishop of El Paso.
