Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition
Apocalyptic preachers have hosted a deeply rooted connection to guns. It makes sense to arm yourself since the pending doom of the world is at hand. How else can you protect yourself from Satan's forces? Jack Van Impe warned that the United Nations was posting secret codes on the back of federal highway signs to take down the nation. Apocalyptic preacher Jon Hagee is shown holding his rifle beside NRA allies. Hagee is not holding that weapon to signify quail hunting on one of his vast ranches. David Barton was recently on Glenn Beck's show. Barton explained how to better protect the nation's schools. He told the story of a small old West school where an evil person with a vendetta was about to attack a teacher. Students stood up to the bully pulling out their guns as a warning. Thus armed students are a grand deterrent to violence. One of Barton's legislative friends offered a bill to cease the no weapons ban at public schools. Texas legislators were pushing bills to arm teachers and pay for their weapon's training. Bills in Arkansas dealt with lifting the ban on taking weapons to church. It was discovered that in Texas, churches are not a gun free zone unless there are visible posted signs stating such. Gun magnet Ted Nugent is featured as a supporter of area politicians. He is listed on resumes' and encouraged to speak at press conferences. While in New York Ted held up an assault weapon and said, "Hey Hillary you might want to ride one of these into the sunset you worthless bitch..." He also told Barbara Boxer to suck on my machine gun and called Dianne Feinstein a worthless shore. His rhetoric was so vile about President Obama the secret Service paid him a visit. A Religious Right politician was taped comparing Obama's use of children in a gun-control commercial to how Saddam Hussein used children. Regional politicians have lost tenure over backing bills like the Brady Bill. Government gun regulation in any form is seen as reason to vote for one's opponent by what appears to be a majority of voters. Hysteria often flows with the mention of gun regulation. Some Religious Right leaders believe the "mental health" portion of gun checks will be used against Christians. Fear mongers believe Christians will be declared mentally ill by the government and this will be an excuse to take away their defense. The Christian Militia was formed to protect citizens from the threat of government persecution of true Americans. A Baptist Congressman once sent a fax to Janet Reno who was Attorney General at the time. He wrote her he was concerned that she would be using the Military to attack Christian militias. Associated Baptist Press recently carried a story about a north Texas church hosting training for gun carrying permits. Jon Hagee's son believes Bill Clinton is the Anti-Christ. One legislator wrote that Clinton used the attack on the Branch Davidians as an excuse to take away assault weapons. A legislative assistant recently told me about his connection to Herb Titus, who is his mentor. Herb believes that Obama Care will be a "totalitarian threat." He stated people needed to be armed "because ultimately it may come to the point where it's a life and death situation." Titus is connected to Christian Reconstruction and worked with Pat Robertson to start up a law school. Christian Reconstruction believes most agencies of the federal government are illegitimate. Larry Pratt of Gun owners of America is another leader Texas politicians often cite as a friend. Pratt is the man who worked up the legal reasoning behind the Christian Militia. Pratt states there are to be no more Wacos. He warns that if this is tried again we will not stand around and watch. Larry has a video warning Obama that like King George III, Second Amendment rights allow citizens to shoot the ones who seek to take our rights away. The Christian News Wire site carries a report about a gun activist by the name of John Synder. Synder says that Obama policies undermine the "right to life itself." He was referring to the President's gun owner opinions. Synder concludes his argument against the President with, "We unite and fight him and his obtuse seig heil media all the way." His web site, gunsrightspolicies.org, sells a book named Gun Saint. It is the story about a Catholic who is promoted as the "patron saint of gun owners." Since so many in the nation still think the President is secretly a Muslim or has a radical agenda, the fact that he is promoting any kind of gun control sets him up for scorn. One has to wonder at how much his close advisors are in touch with the public? His first election sent a horde of shoppers to Wal Mart seeking to get all the ammunition they could before the government banned it. I was recently at an area gun store and a clerk told me that anything that goes pop or makes a boom gets picked up as fast as it hits the shelves. Another local gun range told me he was offered a price for every single box of shells he had on the premise Check out what home school crowds are using for film and literature. Sergeant York is a favorite. Visionforum, a home school favorite, promotes many children's books with military themes. Toy weapons are the toys of choice for the lads, which teaches them to "defend their sisters." Hardcore homes school types are gun advocates and most of the children, (girls and boys) have been introduced to guns. Logic concludes that if you are so afraid of the government you will not allow your children to attend its schools, how much affection will your family have toward the government? Ruby Ridge and Randy Weaver are not swimming alone out there in the vast sea. There are some others swimming with them in the school.
