I saw two priests at a gun show today (north Idaho).

So much for ‘turning the other cheek’.

If you do not have a Sig Sauer P229, sell your cloak and buy one.

People employed in these fields no longer have to prove they are in serious danger to obtain a permit to carry firearms but instead only have to pass drug and psychiatric evaluations and prove they have no criminal convictions.

I have news for these political nitwits.

We all are always in serious danger.

Sure, these people are more directly targeted but everyone is a target of criminals at one time or another. For everyone the problem is we never know when we are going to be a target.

And that is why everyone should be legally able to carry if they chose to do so.

We all are always in serious danger.

And, for those of us in the USA, we are always in serious danger from tyrants that want to take away our security to have a free state.

Who is killing the priests? Is it muslims?

[Jonty30]

Could be Muslims, but it could also be people who don’t like to be challenged along moral lines, like drug dealers or corrupt politicians.

Why lawyers? Schools all over the world should shut down their law programs for a decade. If the world actually starts to get better, ie. politicians that are more honest (I mean the type to tell you they’ll actually make your life more difficult and expensive), and fewer lawsuits. If that’s the case, start them back up. If things stay the same, then their programs remain dormant for another 10 years.

the Muslims have killed some priests, but the priest in our area was killed for helping rape victims and for helping local farmers against crooked businessmen.

other theories are that he criticized another church (doubtful) and because he gave a lot of sermons against drugs and corruption.

spilling the beans on corruption is a good way to get killed: Most of the journalists who are murdered in the Philippines because they identified a corrupt politician.

Lots of political murders in our area, because if you become a politician you can get rich on bribes and kickbacks. Our nephew was killed in the crossfire when the guy who was mayor back then ordered a hit against his opponent...
