Were Jesus Christ alive today, not only would his presence mark the beginning of the end times, but he also probably wouldn't be a member of the National Rifle Association, according to an op-ed that ran on Reuters.com Friday.
"Evangelical Christians … may well be the key to shifting America's broken political dynamic around gun rights," wrote filmmaker Abigail Disney in her op-ed titled, "Jesus wouldn't join the NRA." |

Jesus said after Peter whacked off Malchus's ear " Put it back in it's place "(I.e. "holster your weapon".) NOT ban it or turn in in at the local government sword buyback ! Peter's sword was to protect himself from dange - was not needed to protect Jesus !. The short sword was the sidearm of the times - if Rome had made it to the current day, every Roman citizen would have the right to carry a gun ! Christ had told his disciples in his last hours with them: "...But now, he who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise a sack; and he who has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one" .
We are certainly commanded not to murder, but God fully expects us to protect the life he gave us ! |

| Facially idiotic. Jesus was not a "joiner", therefore nobody can presume what He would or would not "join". |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
