I often wonder what it means for us to be dependent on guns for safety, recreation and self-defense. Guns are made to wound and kill. They have no other purpose. I know from personal experience that shooting a gun is a rush like no other. I have family members who sleep with a gun in their bedside table, or under the mattress, ostensibly to protect themselves and family members from burglars, rapists, and other intruders. I’m willing to bet money that the ghostly image of that fearful intruder looks like somebody from a different and fearful race. A person I know keeps a gun in the back row of the church in case an unsavory person appears. |

I've got a better one:
"Children will oppress my people. Women will rule them. My people, your guides mislead you, and you don't know which way to go." - Isaiah 3:12
These 'useful idiot' kids are being stoked, scripted and organized by Women's March Youth Empower.
Any questions? |

Isaiah 11:6 is where the quote is found.....but Isaiah is discussing Christ's second coming when he removes all sin and animals like lions eat grass and are peaceful..."a child shall lead them," meaning lead animals, not people.
For another Biblical perspective ...PROVERBS 22:15 ~~~~"foolishness is bound up in the heart of the child."
Should we, in that light, follow? |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
