        All those lawmakers who approved that reduced price have blood on their hands! They are all in the NRA’s pocket. Vote them out!

        The NRA funds candidates to run against anyone who even speaks of gun legislation.

        Which is exactly what we pay them for. NRA is made up of citizens who value their civil rights. It’s not a faceless PAC. It’s member driven.

        This is incorrect, but you’re not interested in the truth, so whatever. I’ll just leave you with this: You will NEVER disarm us. Give it up.

        So the answer is always, “We need MORE guns”? Honestly asking. I spent my life in a Baptist Church & can’t imagine seeing open carry there.

        If that neighbor hadnt had the ability to have that gun and guts, more people would have died. I said nothing about more guns.

        I grew up in both Southern Baptist and Episcopal churches. Many of those people were veterans and owned guns, including preacher&priests.

        And no, I personally do not own a gun. But I did grow up in a family and church families who taught responsible gun usage.

        Most people who own guns dont usually talk about it. You might be surprised by your church members, esp if they are veterans.
