Religious leaders call for stricter gun laws in Pennsylvania

The number of shootings, gun murders and suicides using firearms is rising across the country.
Mass shootings are commonplace in the U.S. and although they get most of the attention, they don’t happen nearly as often as a shooting on the street or in a home. Philadelphia and other large cities are setting records for gun deaths but here in Central Pennsylvania, not a week goes by that we don’t hear of a shooting nearby.
No one has been able to identify any one reason why gun violence is increasing – other than the availability of guns.
The “one reason” for “gun violence” is the gun. Apparently, they’ve never heard of sin but ascribe voodoo-like powers to inanimate objects. The New Religion truly is an irrational scattershot of bazaar beliefs and dogmas disconnected from reality.
So when you deny sin and the reality of the state of man’s soul before God, naturally, you find a fake religionist who ascribes to the same worldview of blaming objects for the actions of men.
A new group — the Saving Lives: Ending Gun Violence Committee — is led by the religious community, in particular Pennsylvania’s Episcopal Diocese, is calling for tougher gun laws.
On The Spark Tuesday, The Rev. Jennifer Mattson, Rector of St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Lancaster and Chair of the committee outlined the laws the group is advocating for,”Limiting purchases to one handgun a month to make it harder for illegal handgun trafficking to occur, an extreme risk protection order, which would be a temporary judicial removal of (guns)... Prohibition on the sales of assault weapons and large capacity ammunition style magazines, which, by the way, are the weapons most typically used for mass shootings, and then a prohibition on the sale and the possession of ghost guns. So these are the parts of guns that are kits that can be available that people can then put together their own gun that wouldn’t have identifying markers or information, which can make it more difficult actually, for law enforcement to solve crimes.”
The article goes on to explain that a piece of parchment grants rights to us, again, devoid of the knowledge and understanding of God’s existence, let alone a rational and healthy fear of the Almighty as Creator and Lawgiver. Read the rest of the drivel if you want to.

Anyone shocked
“No one has been able to identify any one reason why gun violence is increasing””
The DENIAL in that one is Astounding.

Funny how CCW permit holders are never the mass shooters, just the guys and gals who stop it.
Funny how about a billion guns don’t go off everyday.
Actually, not funny at all.

Did they consult with Fetterthing in the psych ward? (honk!)
The satanic Marxist inversion of everything is part of the Long March to burn down Western Civ.
Remember the meme of Jo Jo Slovo Biden and the mantra it only gets worse.
I love the old meme of a laptop, full knife block and gun which says, don’t fear tools, get skills and learn how to use them.

A long-time friend of mine is an Episcopal priest in PA, as was his wife until her death (apparently Episcopalians are OK with that). Both he and his wife had carry permits and packed everywhere all the time.
The idiots behind this article want to reshape their city to be more like Baltimore.
It is statistically more dangerous to have a Baltimore address than it is to be a uniformed police officer in America.
These idiots should be careful what they wish for…

Modern “Christianity” is nothing of the sort. Sadly, it’s not even paganism. It’s much, much worse.
Ivan Illich explained it very well in his post humous book, Rivers North of the Future. “The corruption of the best is the worst.” The whole modern world, Christian or not, operates on an (ostensibly) Christian moral framework. But it’s all twisted and bent into the very opposite of what it claims to exemplify.
Debased Christianity is far darker than un-Christianity. There is no depravity of which the kind is not capable.

Now let’s discuss how spell check is NOT your friend.

They have a big hump to overcome:
The Constitution of Pennsylvania
§ 21. Right to bear arms.
The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of
themselves and the State shall not be questioned.

The ground game in PA is complicated.
