darrenlobo posted this way down the forum in the Second Amendment section. Given that that section sees very little attention (ironic, at best), and his post is definitely worth the read, I'm bumping it up here. https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/10056922/Islands,_Churches,_and_Guns#Post10056922 Islands, Churches, and Guns As usual, a mass shooting like the one in Charleston brings out the gun rights haters who want to cynically use the blood of the victims to grease the skids for their gun control schemes. One hears and reads claim after nonsensical claim that if only we had less gun rights and fewer guns in the United States the victims would still be alive. Reality tells us something very different. http://theinternationallibertarian.blogspot.com/2015/06/islands-churches-and-guns.html It's unlikely that such truth will sink into the skulls of those like our resident PA garter snake, but perhaps those that can comprehend such things as this blog post will appreciate it.
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

Good article with data that will be completely ignored by those who wish to diminish our freedoms.

The thanks are due you, darrenlobo. Great post; great find (of the blog).

A shooter in our church had better shoot fast if he wants to kill many before he's met by a barrage of bullets.

Sure, but if our own Chicago, IL., isn't iconic for the failure to stop gun-murder with [/i]more restrictive[i] gun control, I don't know what is.

Read a quote once,
"If gun control worked, Chicago would look like Mayberry, not "Thunderdome""
"The day I went to work everybody showed up to watch Johnny Luster work. Well, they had a wheelbarrow there, and said I was to push that thing around all day. I looked at it, then turned around and headed for the mountians..."

A shooter in our church had better shoot fast if he wants to kill many before he's met by a barrage of bullets. Weakest time to hit ours is about twenty minutes into the tithing sermon. Lots of droopy eyelids at that point. Otherwise our bibles are open and our guns are loaded. You know Christians are like that. Per the anti Christian Muslim leader. GW
If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared. MACHIAVELLI
