The idea of god-given rights to something as ungodly as the weapons that are sold in stores today would be a subject for satire if it weren’t our literal reality. It’s completely absurd.
While I occasionally call myself an atheist, I’m deeply offended by those, even SCOTUS justices who are anti abortion, but send ICE violently after immigrants. Some here legally, some children, a pregnant woman thrown to the ground. Cuts to Medicaid, food assistance. But clearly access to guns the most disturbing&anti Christian. Anti child. That America’s children have drills&must be afraid to go to school.
BTW Karoline Leavitt, Pam Bondi: lose the crosses, some of us have actually read the Sermon on the Mount.
What kind of freedom is it if our children have to be trained to duck and hide so that what? Someone can play soldier or obliterate a target? I'm not saying you should give up your hunting rifle or your home protection (although I have more faith in a large dog or a small one with a big voice). I'm saying, how many rounds of ammo does it take to shoot a rabbit or a target? Why has our zealot's need for the 2nd Amendment overshadowed our 1st Amendment rights to Life and Liberty? Don't we have the right to stand in a crowd and not worry that the guy standing next to us is going to pull out a gun?
You have expressed this much better than I could, Ben. Thank you.
I’m sure you’d do a great job speaking to this subject. But thanks as always for the kind words, Brent!
Well thought out & stated Ben.
Thanks so much for the kind words, Anna!
There’s no such thing as God given right to have unlimited, unrestrained access to guns.
One can’t be anti abortion, but suggest school shootings are an acceptable sacrifice of children for a fetish.

They were truly meant.
I live in Tasmania where the Port Arthur massacre was our “claim to fame” world wide, & hearing of shooting deaths keep bruising my soul I’m afraid.
Keep up the good work it's always appreciated (I just don't comment all the time).
