It is a shame that here—only a few days before Christmas—we have to
focus on guns, violence and society. A bit ironic also, because the
little baby born in the stable and laid in a manger, the Savior of the
world and the Creator Himself, is the ultimate solution for the ills
that plague society. When one repents of their sins and trusts in Christ
for salvation, certain things follow. The Holy Spirit indwells the
believer, day by day conforming us into His image. Most importantly,
enabling us to live the kind of lives God wants us to live. We learn how
to love one another. And when we love one another (and love God), we're
not out conducting mass murder.
I hope to put up a Christmas-themed post before Christmas, but in the wake of the NRA news conference today, I thought I should make some comment about it. Heaven knows, the rabid left and their media acolytes will.
You'll notice I used a drawn picture of an "average family." Why? Glad you asked!
NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre made many excellent points and observations in his press statement. He didn't take questions, probably smart given the hostility of the media to the 120+year-old organization and our constitutional right to keep and bear arms. I read the Reuters account of the presser, and had to chuckle because of their inaccuracy on several counts. They called the NRA "press shy," which is laughable. The NRA usually has a tough time getting its message out via the "mainstream" media because everyone has to filter out the bias of the reporters and editorializing over the top of their statements. Two protesters stood up and began screaming in the midst of LaPierre's remarks and had to be forcibly removed. True to form, instead of addressing the FACTS that LaPierre was giving in his presser, they insisted "How do you answer these protests?" I guess they weren't listening to what Wayne was saying.
