“For many,” Austin writes, “God and guns are like hot dogs and apple pie. They are part of what is means to be an American and even an American Christian.”
Having acknowledged this position is common, Austin challenges its validity. “The problem is that this combination of faith and firearms is often accepted for dubious reasons and can lead to disastrous consequences.”
To be sure, Austin acknowledges there are legitimate and orderly uses for firearms. But outside of hunting and sport shooting, almost every other use of firearms can be labeled a tragedy. |

In other words, Austin is a pinko.
Nothing to see here, folks. Move along. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The congress of the United States possesses no power to regulate, or interfere with the domestic concerns, or police of any state: it belongs not to them to establish any rules respecting the rights of property; nor will the constitution permit any prohibition of arms to the people; or of peaceable assemblies by them, for any purposes whatsoever, and in any number, whenever they may see occasion. —ST. GEORGE TUCKER'S BLACKSTONE |
