  2. HI BROCK!!!!!,
    The term "GUN VIOLENCE" is a "Mis-nomer!!!!" Honey, it ain't the "GUN!!" it's the perp. wielding it that should be addressed!!!!! ...Let's go back a couple of thousand years (we could use less but go with the flow!!) back then there were "NO GUNS!!" But people killed other people regularly with "SWORDS, KNIVES, SPEARS and other artifacts!!!" Eons ago now, I will use this for clarity, in my College daze (mid 60's) I recall a cartoon in "PLAYBOY" mag.. 'Young lady comes home after a "Date" and is taking off her top and says to her room-mate,"The Only things that change are the 'Year' and 'make and model of the car!!'" .... 'Ya can change the word "car" to "Weapon" and I think we'll have something to talk about!!

  4. Garlic festival shooting? The perp must'a been an angry Vampire.

    California? One of the strictest gun-law states.

  5. I really didn't read the article, but I suspect the solution is similar to the church in which I grew up. For many years, the General Conference of the United Methodist Church has supported a ban on ALL PRIVATE FIREARMS OWNERSHIP in the U.S. Now how would that be enforced? Oh, by "gun violence", of course, with the end game being a government monopoly of gun violence. Historically, that has resulted in the mass murder in the millions and tens of millions. It is always true that...ONLY YOUR ENEMY WANTS YOU DISARMED. There are always "useful idiots" who help them. --Ron W

  6. I think it is self evident that a lot of the churches/churchians are in the gutter along with all the other institutions. There is a reckoning coming.

  7. "et your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law."

    If she can't the above correct what else will she get wrong?

    Y'all have a nice day.

  8. Typical liberal church. Total democratic party agenda from the pulpit.
