Days before it was even up on I-85 and I-40, a billboard sponsored by the North Carolina Council of Churches began receiving national attention. The coalition of 18 denominations commissioned the billboard displaying the Second Commandment – "You shall not make for yourself an idol" – with an image of guns and bullets.
The intention, says executive director Jennifer Copeland, is to remind people that for some, guns have become a symbol of safety – or what some in the religious community might see as idolatry. She says the reaction is intense.

How do guns as a symbol of safety make them into an idol?
Retarded liberals will stop at nothing to vilify lawful gun owners.

TO REMEMBER |
| A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks. — Thomas Jefferson, Encyclopedia of T. Jefferson, 318, Foley, Ed., reissued 1967. |
