"...they cling to guns or religion..." Yeah - that stupid Obama guy.
Vox, Tara Isabella Burton:
As the debate over gun control raged across America in the wake of last month’s school shooting in Florida, a group of worshippers wearing bullet crowns and toting AR-15 rifles gathered in a Pennsylvania church this week to hold a “commitment ceremony” for about 250 couples.
The ceremony was held at the World Peace and Unification Sanctuary in Newfoundland, Pennsylvania. The weapons, which Reuters reported were unloaded, were meant to represent the biblical “rod of iron” referenced in the Book of Revelation, used by God’s representative to dominate his enemies.
As the nearby Wallenpaupack Area School District moved its students to another school over concerns about the armed celebrants, church leaders argued for the power of guns to do God’s will — and protect the innocent. “Each of us is called to use the power of the ‘rod of iron’ not to arm or oppress as has been done in satanic kingdoms of this world, but to protect God’s children,” said the church leader, Rev. Hyung Jin “Sean” Moon, in a statement. “If the football coach who rushed into the building to defend students from the shooter with his own body had been allowed to carry a firearm, many lives, including his own, could have been saved.”
One thing I noticed: in every picture I've seen so far, all of the AR15s are 'safed' with a zip tie through the receiver, making it almost impossible to load them with any ammo.
If the guns (and the gun owners) are blessed with ethereal powers for good, then earthly measures to ensure they don't fall into evil ways are totally unnecessary.
It's almost as if there's some kinda scam going on here.
