I just cannot understand why
anyone would think a church should be a "gun free" zone. Is it because pastors are likely to fly into a rage at the pulpit, and let loose something more than fire and brimstone? Seriously, I've never seen a preacher add extra emphasis to a rather compelling bit of scripture by adding a .45 caliber exclamation point.
No. Its not to protect the congregation from the true believers, or the pastor. Its to protect the sheep from the wolf who would specifically target large groups of people who are unlikely to be able to defend themselves. You see, a man bent on mass murder (no pun intended) will see these signs, realize that the tool he chose to do his killings isn't allowed, and just go home.
The amazing thing is, some people actually believe the paragraph above, but cannot believe in a higher power!
YES! We need guns in church... and in the mall... and at the schools. Its common sense. Mass killings happen where people are defenseless. If gun free zones aren't the cause of these incidents, then why don't we see snipers taking aim at police stations, army barracks, and NRA meetings?
We don't need to quote scripture to justify our position, not any more than we need to reference the Bible to prove humans need oxygen to survive. We just need to exercise the brain that our Creator has given us.
And that, folks, is called "preaching to the choir!"
