At Crosspointe Church, a non-denominational church in Fayetteville, North Carolina, volunteers with black shirts and concealed weapons patrol the parking lot and stand unobtrusively in the margins during services and church activities.
They are called the Watchmen, a security team put together by pastor Tracy Pounders and his family. The presence of armed security in a place of worship is an unsettling dissonance for many, but at Crosspointe they are part of the larger ministry, and their origins are distinctly personal. |

"If America’s gun owners claim they are responsible, then they should prove their responsibility by accepting gun registration laws like New Zealand.”
Have you ever read anything MORE ridiculous in your LIFE?
Translation: If Americans want to prove that they are responsible enough to be free, they should give up their freedom to prove that they are responsible.
It's appropriate that they call themselves Kiwis, because that concept is the most bird-brained thing I've ever heard. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
