God, Guns And I-594

It had to happen. Some misguided clerics think they need to tell folks that God like I-594.
Charles Stephens, the show’s director, was deeply affected by the tragic shooting at SPU. “We rehearsed there, and everything was going great, and then there was the shooting that happened,” Stephens said.
He decided to reschedule the concert, this time as a fundraiser for the Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility. That’s the main group pushing I-594. The initiative would institute comprehensive background checks on firearms.
Stephens approached Katie Ladd and asked if he could use her church, the United Methodist Church. She said yes.
“To be a follower of Jesus, who I believe is the Prince of Peace, we have to make stands for peace,” Ladd said. Pastor Ladd feels it’s her responsibility as a Christian to advocate for anti-gun violence laws.
“When asked what the greatest commandment was, you know Jesus says Love the Lord G-d with all of your heart, your mind, your soul and your strength and your neighbor as yourself,” Ladd said. “It seems to me, it’s pretty basic thing to say that we don’t want to kill one another.”
So here’s a question for you lady. Since you’re so big on not wanting people to perish at the hands of others, how about when a home invader enters your home with the intent of raping and murdering your children? Isn’t it the case that you’re hating your children and wishing death on them at the hands of the perpetrator by not defending your home?

When you watch the news and listen to politicians you would expect to
hear the truth,but I think those days are over,Some media is being
controlled and now they have become just storytellers and the
politicians are getting paid off by the rich with campaign funds to push
what ever they want Why?Because the courts found it is legal for them
to lie because off the first amendment free speech act.Talk to a police
officer, talk to a judge,talk to the people that are supposed to
enforce this cleverly drafted bill.They will tell you it will not stop
the crime it says it will and ultimately could kill more law abiding
because of the infringements it places on the lawful people to be armed
when needed ,most of wish are the woman of this state.When you take the
power away from the law abiding you have just given more power to the
criminals.This bill was designed to control the law abiding and noting
more. If this law was just about background checks I would have
supported it but it goes way further than that.I 594 is not like any
other bill passed in any other state like the gun grabbers are
saying.Please do your home work and VOTE NO on I-594 you just might save
a life.
