This is from this morning's CBS This Morning show

CBS This Morning Video - From Paris to San Bernardino, mass shootings are creating some fear - CBS.com


This is a growing trend. We are friends of a Minister at a local church that wears a bullet proof vest and always caries when he is in church. In fact he and his wife always carry. She is a NRA Certified Instructor teaching many courses including CCW

Sounds to me like they don't trust god to protect them. Maybe if they pray harder...

God gives them the tools, a fool ignores what he is given. SBZ06 12:15

People have been doing this for generations. Hell, some of our gun laws in effect today are an attempt to disarm those people trying to defend themselves from the KKK.

So much for turning the other cheek, doing unto others, the Ten Commandments, and all the other stuff that Christian preachers are always yapping about.

Hey. I've got no issue with that. Violence should ALWAYS be a last resort. But that doesn't mean one shouldn't have the means to fight back against those who wish to do harm against their fellow man, be it a minister, or whatever! Let's face it, there are a lot of sick, and just flat out evil people in the world that absolutely do not value the lives of others! As I said, violence should always be the last resort. However; it is unrealistic to think that we can all sit around and sing kumbaya together.

When's the last time you heard a minister yapping about those quaint topics? All I seem to hear is how god will make you as rich at them, fighting againts the hordes of gays, lesbians, mexiscans and muslims, or how to launch a counter-offensive in the war against Christmas.

Yes when push comes to shove even preachers know that Jesus isn't going to help them But Smith and Wesson will.

Wonder how many Christians in the ME would be alive if they were able to own a gun?

When is the last time you attended a Christian church? All the things you mentioned, happen to be made up fantasies of the left to get attention. Such a needy bunch!
