Oh Yeah, that is a program I can support! Hope they pass on a little training with the weapons.

Sounds like a program that makes sense.I hope they are careful about deciding who gets them.
Giving one to a single Mother who has a Son that belongs to a gang could come back to bite you.


Although the gangs have illegal guns anyway, but as soon as one of these guns was used in a crime, the media would have a field day with it.
the right/left yardstick is a French Revolution-born human measure. It reflects the political spectrum, which is determined by the people’s range of beliefs. Christians, however (and everyone, in fact), should make Truth their yardstick. This inerrant guide doesn’t compromise and build consensus, either; it’s not a politician. It dictates where reality lies. And in a civilization claiming 2+2=5, it’s with the “extremist” who insists it’s 4. For God’s realism so often is man’s radicalism.
