Two signs outside two metro-area churches display very different messages.
Pastor Tom Vineyard, from Higher Plain Baptist Church, and the Rev. Lori Walke, of Mayflower Congregational UCC, have different views on a new gun law that goes into effect Thursday.
"It saves lives," Vineyard said.
"More guns make places more dangerous," Walke said.
House Bill 2632 adds "places of worship" to the list of places where Oklahomans would have criminal and civil immunity if they used deadly force as a result of self defense -- like in the case of a potential mass shooting. |

The 'no guns' people should shut up and go away.
After all, 'no guns' has worked so WELL, right? |

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 |
