Your logic is flawed. Background checks won't prevent ALL gun deaths, but they will prevent SOME. And that's a good enough reason to have them. To say we shouldn't have background checks because they aren't 100% effective is ridiculous.
Background checks are common sense. That's why a very large majority of Americans support them.
Banning cars would be 100% effective in reducing people dying from DUI drivers.
Ready to do so or are DUI deaths acceptable to you?
It's sad that we live in a time where people in a church become target practice for some guy with a gun. I am glad churches hire security guards now and that some members lawfully carry guns to church so when someone decides to shoot the place up, return fire is guaranteed. Mind you, it is not a cause for celebration, but it's much better outcome than the other possibility.
My Bible never taught me that turn the other cheek would mean to sit there as some nutjob shoots the place up
So this is supposed to be some sort of happy ending because everyone is armed. Plenty of other countries don't have this problem, they can go to church or synagogue in peace and don't need to be armed to the teeth. I guess we are less religious and have more mental health issues than other countries, I know it could never be our gun culture.
We have a violence problem in our culture.
Do you believe the presence of an inanimate object makes people violent?
If you’ve gotta carry a gun in church, then I’ll chalk that up as yet another good reason why I’m an atheist. Why worship someone that won’t even stop you from getting killed in HIS place of worship?
So, you believe a God would create robots without freedom of choice?
Kind of speaks for itself, don't you think? No point in the GOP giving their usual song and dance about thoughts and prayers after a mass shooting is they don't work in a church!
As usual, you didn't answer the question.
Are you suggesting that the armed members of the congregation are not people of faith? It's a yes or no question.
