The Lord says, “Be not afraid.”
Utah legislators say, “Be very afraid. So afraid that you feel compelled to carry the means of causing serious bodily injury or death on your person at all times.”
Jesus said, “turn the other cheek.”
Utah legislators say, “Shoot first, ask questions later.”
The Social Doctrine of our church says, “Every individual has fundamental rights, and with these rights come corresponding responsibilities.” |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
