I had earlier point out that the progressives weren't giving up without a fight. Their hard-fought victory over the military establishment and the consequent loss of it, even if partial, cuts deeply.

Of the two, I think (a) is the better choice. Jesus taught us to teach our children by carrying them with us in our daily tasks. It’s how He learned to be a carpenter.
By the way, as I’ve said before, I consider the shotgun to the be the best home defense weapon available. I applaud his choice of weapons. Also, if I’m not mistaken, he’s shown carrying a Beretta 1301 with an extended tube mag and red dot sight, my favorite home defense tool.
