EVERYTHING the government has was taken by force of arms.

You may not have seen the gun at your head, or the handcuffs on your wrists as you handed in your income tax forms and wrote out that check, but they were there if needed.

Did Jesus ever say "use guns to raise funds for the poor"?

Did Jesus perhaps have "handcuff and jail cell" sessions? Anyone catch that ~ I've gone through the Bible many times and must have missed it.

Exactly right. As P.J. O'Rourke said, "Would you kill your mother to pave I-95?" Because that's what it comes down to.

Occupied GA's tagline is right on. It's not a poor person - or sick person, immigrant, or Catholic bishop - on your doorstep with a gun, as a rule: it's our very own government.
