AP - Gore: Ban Guns in Churches

My state does not have the gall to prohibit it in my Church. Separation of Church and State? Nope. Deregulation I guess. Are lives of children and others not worth protecting? How about their legal pistol packing fathers?

I carry in church with no foggy conscience. My God loves life and demands I at least attempt to preseve it. JMO
 
The issue of CC in churches or synagogues should be of NO business to the gt. It isn't even the minister or rabbis decision to deny the right of an individual to peacefully carry a weapon into the meetings IMHO. However, any minister worth a nickel is going to know and teach the Scriptural mandates to the individual's right to the means of self defense. When the gt steps in and dictates a denial to a citizen bringing a weapon into a place of worship, they are not only violating Scriptural mandates set by the Lawgiver, they violate Articles one and two of the Constitution. By dictating a citizen disarmament law in regards to church, they are stepping on personal property rights as well. It will be "interesting" if this is ever implemented to see how they use this to carry into disarmament of those in private households. After all, many churches/ assemblies hold their meetings in peoples homes. Also, what makes a dwelling place different from any other place set aside for spiritual meetings?

If AG wants to keep guns out of his own house, that's his business. Maybe AG should ask the Lawgiver what he says about this issue. After all its His house not Als.

I believe that one of the problems that the scum-sucking Siberian snow-pimps have with Bush is the fact that he eased the restriction on carry in houses of worship.

From the post that started this thread:
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>While that law banned guns from churches and synagogues, in 1997 Bush signed another law that forces houses of worship to post signs or hand out cards alerting visitors that guns are not permitted. The law barred prosecution of those who bring guns into churches unless they had been notified of the rules first.[/quote]

Can you just hear Sarah Brady hyperventilating? Music to my ears.

What of the Churches that don’t have a building yet or for that matter don’t want one? I have been a member in the past of a church that was just starting and had no property and meet at the homes of the members until a building was built. This took almost 3 years.

What of outside activities in member’s homes such as ladies meetings, prayer breakfasts, youth groups, picnics, or what ever?

What of the Church parsonage where the pastor lives?

One of the many things that Gore is ignorant about is that a Church is not a building or place but “a called out assembly”. A church is the membership not the physical property.

How will they make it illegal for people to have firearms in their own homes simply because they have guest who are members of their church?

Will Gore also make it illegal to gather as a church in homes or on other private property (such as in China)?

The entire notion is undoable. To even suggest this demonstrates either profound ignorance of our Constitutionally guaranteed freedoms or a bold oppressive move in complete disregard of them.

All this without even addressing the facts that Gun Free zones create target rich, resistance free targets for whackos.

Come on … How hard is it to articulate this and turn it around …

As far as I know we can, in TX that is, carry in churches as long as the sign is not up. Originally the law was written as no carry in houses of worship, but was changed in 97 I think.

What Al Whore wants is to be able to set up good vlean kill zones for the loyalists without much danger to them. The last thing he needs is another Waco, where the peasants actually had the gall to shoot and kill some of the arson squad. Even mindless loylalists have a desire to live and if you allowed people to defend themselves than there is a chance that one day while violating someone's rights you could end up dead. We cant have them worrying about things like that can we??? This guy and his ilk are just UNBELIEVABle morons. If stupidity hurt, they would be in agony.
