Do you/would you carry a concealed firearm to Mass?

[Duesenberg]

I normally don’t reply in threads of this nature, but this is honestly such an ugly statement on your part. To speak about the living situations of the people who live in these places without addressing the underlying reasons for their situations seems incredibly arrogant and uncompassionate.

I find your retort incredibly ugly, rude and arrogant. I was pointing out that not everyone’s life is peaches-n-cream. That situation awareness is an important part of staying alive for many. I did not judge such people. I defended them. Not all of us can have our thoughts consumed by “work, friends, family, God, spaghetti, cherry cheesecake, a hot shower, a good book, etc.” as the person I was responding to wrote.

It’s honestly amazing to me how many Americans seem to think their right to owning a gun or their right to property supersedes another person’s right to their God given life.

It’s honestly amazing to me to see how many struggle to sell the ridiculous notion that the lawful ownership of firearms necessarily comes at the price of human lives.

There isn’t a single thing I own that is worth killing someone else

This is where we differ. I value my own life and particularly those of my loved ones more than a criminal’s life who is trying to kill them or I.

I don’t think you can truly comprehend how grimy it feels to do it, and the almost gleeful way so many people speak about the prospect of doing so

Red herring. I have seen no such comments on this thread.

I didn’t mean guns decrease voluntarily. If gun manufacturers DECREASE PRODUCTION OF ASSAULT WEAPONS for Military and Police,

There is no such thing as an assault weapon. It’s a made-up term by the media to push an anti-gun agenda.

Different Protestant Churches do allow the guns

Large Protestant Churches in America have visible and undercover police officers. There may even be congregation members who carry.

Why do shootings happen? Racial issues, Apparently,

Most shootings happen because of

1. Drugs
2. Domestic violence
3. Gangs
4. Gun control
5. Gun-free zones

Avoid those things and avoid drama and your chances of getting shot tumble.

Are, there European manufacturers?

If they have to, they’ll make guns in the Sahara Desert or in an igloo. There will always be a demand for guns, and it can be a very lucrative business.

You are gravely mistaken if you think God is okay with feel-good solutions that inevitably make things worse.

Inevitably make things worse? O Ye of little faith.

Sorry, I don’t put my faith in guns and marksmanship. Do you?

 

[SuperLuigi]

Inevitably make things worse? O Ye of little faith.

Yes. And little faith in government with its average 23 minute response time? Yes.

Sorry, I don’t put my faith in guns and marksmanship. Do you?

Yes, because most people who own a gun do so responsibly and train themselves. There’s probably a lot of US gun owners who are more experienced than police and soldiers at shooting.

 

[RandomAlias]

I rest my case.

 

[SuperLuigi]

I rest my case.

One-line zingers from the Bible aren’t a case. @StephieNorthCo

 

[StephieNorthCo]

Your point?

 

[RandomAlias]

RandomAlias:

The Bible has more. Take a look.

I rest my case because you have explained your faith in guns. There is nothing more I need to say…

… but I will say it anyway. A one-line zinger from St. Paul. Not Minnesota. The one in the Bible.

The wisdom of this world is foolishness in the eyes of God.

Your point?

@SuperLuigi’s point, believe it or not, is that he checks the likes to see who likes whom. And he comments on it, to try to put down others for liking posts he doesn’t. It’s not the first time he’s done it. I think that is how “social” media works in the hands of today’s youth.

P.S. I appreciate your likes.

Nope, but I also try to practice prudence. ‘Thou shalt not put the lord thy God to the test’

Do you look both ways before crossing the road? O ye of little faith? lol.

Do you support the military? do you think the military should have guns and know how to shoot? Why do you put your faith in the USA military? or the Police? O ye of little faith?

God Bless You

Thank you for reading.

Many years ago in NYC, it was far safer to just simply walk across the street if you had to. People would honk, and yell, but stop and you would get across. If you looked, traffic would keep going, knowing you saw them.

Wierd, but it worked.

lol, crazy. I look both ways nevertheless, because if I’m wrong and the worst happens, I know who is coming off second best.

God Bless You

Has there ever been a shooting in a Catholic church in the United States? I suppose there has, but maybe just one person shot dead or someting?

 

[RandomAlias]

The Knights of Columbus in full regalia carry swords.

I wonder how sharp they are.

 

[Duesenberg]

Most are not very sharp. My KofC sword was forged in 1919 by Wilkinson in England. It’s VERY sharp!

 

[graciew]

About 30 persons killed in a First Baptist Church near New Braunfels , or San Antonio in Texas.
Very sad,Jamal…
Cannot still square the peaceful surroundings over there with a shooting. It is almost surreal…

 

[JamalChristophr]

@graciew

Yes, I know, but I was just wondering if something has happened like this in a Catholic Church ever in the United States.

It only takes one disturbed person with a gun to cause mayhem. Sometimes, honestly, I wonder why such atrocities don’t happen more often.

 

[graciew]

I was just trying to delete my post,Jamal ,when I read yours again. Sorry…
But yes…I am still impressed…very. Plus those 5 Argentinians in NY.

That they do not happen more often,that is true. But when they happen,Lord…so bad and massive…
