Pfleger and Jackson vs. the NRA
American Thinker ^ | June 15, 2015 | Daniel John Sobieski

Posted on 06/15/2015 10:14:13 AM PDT by raptor22

One would think that Catholic priests like Chicago’s Rev. Michael Pfleger, an early supporter of Barack Obama and his push for gun control, would not be bearing false witness against one of his neighbors. Yet there he was standing in front of Chuck’s Gun Shop in suburban Riverdale, Illinois, to blame it, and other legal businesses like it, along with the National Rifle Association, for the murder spree in the gun-controlled progressive worker’s paradise of Chicago.

Standing with the camera-shy Rev. Jesse Jackson and the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence president Dan Gross in front of the gun shop, Father Pfleger proclaimed that the NRA had “blood on its hands” for the children killed in Chicago gang violence and that the NRA would “pay for the murder of our children.”

Catholics are being deceived that they follow true Christianity of the true Biblical text.

When will these people get it through their thick liberal skulls that taking away guns from legal owners and or shutting down LEGAL gun stores will not stop gun violence? Criminals don’t got to Chuck’s Gun Shop in suburban Riverdale, Illinois or any other legal gun shop to purchase their weapons.....geez how hard is that to understand?

Thugs, criminals. Those ar ethe ones with blood on their hands. Them, and the rat politicians and other “leaders” who actively seek and disarm law abiding citizens.
Those are the ones with blood on their hands. I hold Pfleger and Jackson personally responsible.

RICO charges were brought against pro-life activists for illegally blocking the entrance to abortion clinics.

Would the same laws apply to blocking the door of a gun shop?

Your comment is false. Pfleger follows the gospel of socialism, like our unfortunate Pope. The Church has survived fools and scoundrels before, and will survive these, but perhaps not in one piece.

I didn’t realize all of the gang bangers and thugs were members of the NRA.

Would love to see Pfleger go full Rambo & invade Chuck’s Gun Store & then get the s*** beat out of him by the owner & staff.

There's a big difference between deception and disagreement.

In a statement on Saint Sabina's website, Pfleger wrote: "Dr. Wright (Reverend Jeremiah Wright)is one of the great biblical scholars of our country and the best of preachers in the prophetic tradition. Dr. Wright has been shamefully demonized by 30 second sound bites that have tried to re-define him into someone other than who he is."

In May 2007, during a Rainbow/PUSH Coalition protest outside a suburban Chicago gun shop (Chuck's gun shop), Pfleger was accused of threatening the life of the owner, John Riggio. The Illinois State Rifle Association released a tape where Pfleger was heard telling the assembled crowd, "He's the owner of Chuck's. John Riggio. R-i-g-g-i-o. We're going to find you and snuff you out… you know you're going to hide like a rat. You're going to hide but like a rat we're going to catch you and pull you out." Pfleger later claimed his use of the phrase "snuff you out" was misinterpreted.

FU Michael Pfleger.

Pfleger would nail Christ back to the Cross if he could. He is a pawn of Satan.

I thought Pfleger was being kicked out of the priesthood, but I guess not.

Chicago bishops, unfortunately, have not had the courage.

Current Chicago Arch Bishop is big lib and Leftist.

Pope - The same.

Pfleger can stay and do whatever he wants with their blessing.

The Pope is a big time Leftist and has Global Warming to think about and not some petty right to defend yourself against criminals.

Pope Francis Encyclical Calls for Climate ‘Justice,’ Formation of Global Political Body
by Breitbart News15 Jun 2015
From The Guardian:

Pope Francis will this week call for changes in lifestyles and energy consumption to avert the “unprecedented destruction of the ecosystem” before the end of this century, according to a leaked draft of a papal encyclical. In a document released by an Italian magazine on Monday, the pontiff will warn that failure to act would have “grave consequences for all of us”.
