'Evangelicals could be put on watch list, denied guns'

 

Citing recent “inflammatory rhetoric” by Army officials, the head of the Family Research Council is warning supporters that President Obama could put evangelical Christians and Catholics on a “watch list” to prevent them from purchasing guns.

FRC President Tony Perkins said on his “Washington Watch” radio broadcast Wednesday that the Senate’s bipartisan proposal requiring background checks for Internet gun sales is “very concerning given the fact that the United States military has been increasingly showing hostility toward evangelicals and Catholics as being somehow threats to national security and people that need to be watched.”

In an email today to FRC supporters, Perkins explained that a recent Army briefing on “religious extremism” declared evangelical Christians and Catholics are among the biggest threats to America, along with Islamic supremacist groups such as al-Qaida and Hamas.

Perkins said it was also discovered that, in an email, Army Lt. Col. Jack Rich highlighted FRC and the American Family Association as groups that do not share “our Army Values.”

In his broadcast Wednesday, Perkins tied together the Army rhetoric with the proposed Senate legislation.

“Well, what does that have to do with gun control?” he continued. “Well, what happens if all the sudden you are identified as an evangelical, Bible-believing fundamentalist and the government decides you’ve got to be put on a watch list?”

  1. Gun control commies have borrowed a page from Stalinist commies and now concentrate on background checks. The evil bastards have it figured, using their commie background. Their tyranny goes like this:

    You own a gun you're mentally ill. All gun owners are mentally ill. Register all gun owners. Do a background check. Permission denied, subject mentally ill.

    Send mentally ill subject to gulag. Or, more ecconomical, shoot him with DHS .40 hollow point commie specials.

    Stalinist commies everywhere.

    Revoke them (Stalinist commies) with predjudice.
