After the Texas church mass shooting just over a week ago, a New York church is issuing a strong warning:
“We say it again. We are not a gun-free zone.”
A sign in front of Lighthouse Mexico Church of God in Oswego County in upstate New York makes the warning abundantly clear.
Pastor Ronald Russell in an appearance on “Fox & Friends” on Monday explained that the church is “just putting out a warning that we believe in the Second Amendment and we do carry, and it's not going to happen in our church."
"Ever since Sandy Hook, these individuals – whether it's in Sandy Hook, whether it's in San Bernardino – people like to go to gun-free zones to shoot 'em up," said Russell. "And we're just putting out a warning that we believe in the Second Amendment and we do carry, and it's not going to happen in our church."
“You don’t see any of these shooters going to a cop station," he added.
The church is encouraging parishioners to bring their guns to its Sunday worship services.
Russell said that in a shooting situation, while police are great in their response, “if they have to respond, that means something’s already happened.”
"The damage has already taken place," he said. "It takes a good guy with a gun to stop a bad guy with a gun."
Check out his full remarks below.
If you have to call the boys in blue it's too late.
“gun free zones” make their occupants Sitting Ducks.
ps: given the way things are with dangerous IslamoNazi terrorists now added to society’s normal condition, we are given to understand that more and more folks are packing/carrying....it is the only rational, sane response......to at least be equipped to defend yourself and other innocent folks around you. As many police chiefs and sheriffs have advised. And while some good people would honor “no gun zones”.,,most others would make it a special point to carry in such places PRECISELY BECAUSE posting such signs makes those places so very, very much more dangerous
it is a very imperfect world. First step to improving it should be to eliminate the islamics..... the world will be MUCH MUCH safer then, obviously, MUCH safer!....but there will still be some dangers....
Is this even possible in NY, outside of off-duty cops?
HalleluYah!
Pastor Ronald Russell is 100% correct.
Love it.
Good move. Christians are going to have to start defending themselves from the rabid, far left Aunt Teefah crowd.
