Number of people killed by Semi-Auto Rifles last year? 450
Number of people killed by drunk drivers? 10,839
>>>>>>>>>

This is a bit of a stretch. What is the saying? You can make numbers say anything to make your point.

Number of people killed by Semi-Auto Rifles last year? 450
Number of people killed by drunk drivers driving a 2004 Chevy Tahoe? 134

"In 2010, guns took the lives of 31,076 Americans in homicides, suicides and unintentional shootings. This is the equivalent of more than 85 deaths each day and more than three deaths each hour.

73,505 Americans were treated in hospital emergency departments for non-fatal gunshot wounds in 2010."

From a liberal point of view Max considers us "gun nuts" but we just don't think the "CARRYING A HANDGUN IS PROHIBITED" poster will work. However, I have posted a video from Fox News that seems to dispute that idea.

Churches are lawful, holy places, and firearms are allowed to be carried. No gunfights have occurred because a deacon would not disarm himself.

What do rational people conclude? Only that guns, by themselves, create holiness. Nothing brings you closer to God than a Glock in a shoulder holster underneath that suit jacket.

WHY AGAIN DO YOU ACCUSE ME OF A "PLAGIARIZED POST"? Is there something I failed to do?

Our younger generation is too bright to keep up the hocus-pocus, like joining the IOOF used to be cool until it wasn't, religion and the evil that it does is slowly circling the drain and that's a good thing.

Why....if all religion left the world at 10 am today, peace would start breaking out around the globe by sundown. Amen and amen!

You're not even bright enough to change a comma or period or one word so maybe nobody will catch on it's one more plagiarized post by Saleen/Ev. Sad, really sad, son.

Have you ever had a single original thought in your entire life, or do you fill each day with endless cut and paste jobs and constant self-promotion?

Indeed. And that's a bigger travesty than it's intent. It leaves every church in legal limbo.

Btw, "Alcohol Nuts" (in reference to writers "Gun Nuts" quote) don't like to think about this, but I really think we need to have a honest discussion of requiring people to get a permit before they can drink Alcohol. And then setup a national database that tracks how many drinks you have each nite.

Number of people killed by Semi-Auto Rifles last year? 450
Number of people killed by drunk drivers? 10,839

I think it is safe to say that all the DUI laws (just like gun laws) haven't been enforced and we just need to ban the sale of Alcohol after 9pm, require Alcohol Permits, and Setup a national "Drinks" Database.

If you think that the government is out to get you and that's the basis of your God given right to no firearm restrictions at all then, by all means, YES, that's EXACTLY what you would want. Think what an advantage that will be for all you, neo-terrorist patriots.

Why do conservatives always seem to vote against their own self interests?

WILL A FEW PISTOLS STOP ALL THOSE KILLERS IN THE CHURCH YOU ASK.

Let's look at what happened to Ft Hood where my nephew is currently stationed when Bill Clinton became President and put in his gun control philosophy into action.

I THINK YOU WILL SEE A DIRECT COMPARISON BECAUSE MAJOR NIDAL MALIK HASAN KNEW THERE WERE NO PISTOLS PRESENT IN THE AREA HE STARTING SHOOTING IN AND HE WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE SHOOTING FOR 10 STRAIGHT MINUTES WITHOUT INTERRUPTION!!!!

John Lott wrote:


Shouldn’t an army base be the last place where a terrorist should be able to shoot at people uninterrupted for 10 minutes? After all, an army base is filled with soldiers who carry guns, right? Unfortunately, that is not the case. Beginning in March 1993, under the Clinton administration, the army forbids military personnel from carrying their own personal firearms and mandates that “a credible and specific threat against [Department of the Army] personnel [exist] in that region” before military personnel “may be authorized to carry firearms for personal protection.” …The unarmed soldiers could do little more than cower as Major Nidal Malik Hasan stood on a desk and shot down into the cubicles in which his victims were trapped. Some behaved heroically, such as private first class Marquest Smith who repeatedly risked his life removing five soldiers and a civilian from the carnage. But, being unarmed, these soldiers were unable to stop Hasan’s attack. The wife of one of the soldiers shot at Ft. Hood understood this all too well. Mandy Foster’s husband had been shot but was fortunate enough not to be seriously injured. In an interview on CNN on Monday night, Mrs. Foster was asked by anchor John Roberts how she felt about her husband “still scheduled for deployment in January” to Afghanistan. Ms. Foster responded: “At least he’s safe there and he can fire back, right?” — It is hard to believe that we don’t trust soldiers with guns on an army base when we trust these very same men in Iraq and Afghanistan. …The law-abiding, not the criminals, are the ones who obey the ban on guns. Instead of making areas safe for victims, the bans make it safe for the criminal. Hasan not only violated the army’s ban on carrying a gun, he also apparently violated the rules that require soldiers to register privately owned guns at the post. Research shows that allowing individuals to defend themselves dramatically reduces the rates of multiple victim public shootings. Even if attacks still occur, having civilians with permitted concealed handguns limits the damage. A major factor in determining how many people are harmed by these killers is the amount of time that elapses between when the attack starts and someone is able to arrive on the scene with a gun. …All the multiple victim public shootings in the U.S. — in which more than three people have been killed — have all occurred in places where concealed handguns have been banned.

As we all know from centuries of church massacres that prohibitive signs won't keep killers from church any more than a few pistols in the congregation will stop them.

So, to complete this bill ALL churches will have armed guards at every entrance. It's the least we can do to support Christianity, the origial and true religion of America. Additionally all income earned by armed church guards will be tax free.
