Don't you fine citizens of England have a Guy Fawkes' Day, celebrating the setting of explosives underneath Parliament....trying to blow the place to smithereens?

According to Fawkes, 20 barrels of gunpowder were brought in at first, followed by 16 more on 20 July.[25] On 28 July however, the ever-present threat of the plague delayed the opening of Parliament until Tuesday, 5 November.

So wanting gun control is now racist


I bet those dirty gun grabbers hate puppies and pee in public swimming pools as well

It is racist though.

You have to be pretty ignorant to think it's not.

I'd of thought that if anyone celebrated blowing up the English Parliament, it'd be the Northern Irish.

How can this man call himself a Christian?

What happened to "Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you."?

How can you claim to follow Jesus Christ if you encourage people to harm & kill?

The majority of firearms owners manage to own firearms without ever hurting or killing anyone. A gun in your house does not force you to go on a rampage.

It sounds like the preacher is seeking to make a statement. Take control of your life, take control of your future, do not live as someone else's slave. Slaves don't own weapons. It could be as much symbolic as anything else, but it's a very potent symbol.

And Jesus also told his followers to sell their cloaks and buy swords. Sounds like the preacher really is spreading the word

Not now. Always has been. From the klan attacking freed slaves.to the great communicator himself being scared of those beret wearing negroes downtown.

Gun control has always been racist and classist. Even today those areas with the strctest control are mostly poor and black.

Black Preacher States Loudly That His Gun Is Important to His Church and Community...

The Reverend Kenn Blanchard started a national gun club for people of color called the Tenth Cavalry Gun Club “the Buffalo Soldiers”. Today it is known as the Maryland Tenth Cavalry Gun Club.

The Reverend has decried that 20 thousand gun laws passed have not stopped crime, and that people of color are among the most unarmed, most vulnerable and most subjugated to crime people in America.

Reverend Blanchard has worked with all the pro rights organizations, the National Rifle Association, the Law Enforcement Alliance of America, the Second Amendment Foundation, the CATO Institute, Gun Owners of America, and the list continues.

The Reverend Blanchard teaches his parishioners that gun control is racism. He has said, "Gun control is racist. Unless you learn the truth for yourself, you’ll always be a victim. The gun issue is larger than ammunition types, magazine capacities, or gun trade shows."

The Reverend wrote the book 'Black Man With a Gun.'
That author Kenneth Blanchard's book is steeped in history becomes apparent in his very first chapter when he speaks, not only of the Buffalo Soldiers and the Black Panther Party, but to the lesser known, Deacons of Defense, Mary Fields, and Ben Hodges. Throughout his book, "Black Man With A Gun," he continually refers to and explains the historical basis for African American gun ownership
www.amazon.com...'

The Reverend Blanchard has easily admixed Guns and God: "It is easy to be a Christian and advocate gun ownership in principle. It is the application and perceptions that are tough. Most of the people that are against me don’t understand. I want to save lives, stop senseless deaths, and stop the violence but seek a different approach. Training and education save lives. I know this to be true. I learned early that you can’t do the same thing every day and expect a different result."

Surely, because the state can allow the former owner of slave to come for his former property... Surely he needs a gun... There are very big idiots who think that it is normal a human to own other human, the color of skin doesn't matter...

Well it seems like a preacher actually started teaching something worthy of teaching instead of that religion nonsense...

It just seems odd to me but if I went into a church and started saying that white people need to do this and that because people of color... I'm pretty sure I would be called a KKK member.

Just sayin'

I would suggest that a central element is about power.

Think of it this way - if you decided that the UK government was doing something wrong, what could you do about it? If the Queen did away with elections and took back direct feudal control. What could you do about it? Wave your fists? Use angry words? That is hardly going to worry the soldiers waving thier loaded guns back at you. Power rests entirely with the people who are able to exercise the most influence - in other words, the people who can force you at gunpoint to do what you are told.


Do you seriously think that hand guns and assault rifles will do much agaist the military of your country? Unless you're stocking tanks, missiles, attack hellicopters and a giant intelligence infrastructure, and saving up billions to keep it running, your guns will remain just an illusion of being able to fight your government. You have to have a VERY BIG GUN to be able to hold it to the head of your government, and that isn't happening at all. Maybe there could be in the future a divide in the military, but it's not happening now. When the first couple of people try to offer armed resistence to your government, if it ever does happen, it will be used by the government to justify taking heavy repressive measures. The US in 1776 was on thing, this is a completely different reality. I'm not advocating for gun control or against people having guns, but the argument that with some assault rifles and shotguns you can "put the gun to the head of the State" is just plain silly. And the soldiers wouldn't even have to face you, you would probably just get bombed by a UAV.

Are you suggesting that the people of America will stand for 'Waco' like incidents to occur in their states?

My guess is that it wouldn't take too many 'Gunfights at the OK Corral' between Federal Forces against the citizens and their police and sheriff, before the whole of America rises up against 'Waco' repeats.

Each Pastor of each church have their say.........


Pastor at Obama’s Easter Church Service: ‘Captains of the Religious Right’ Want Blacks ‘in the Back of the Bus,’ Women ‘Back in the Kitchen’

Citing the words of Jesus, Leon said, “You cannot go back.”

The president, first lady Michelle Obama and daughters Sasha and Malia all attended the service at St. John’s Episcopal Church, located across the street from the White House. Known as “The Church of the Presidents,” St. John’s boasts having hosted every president for services since 1816 and has a dedicated pew for the commander in chief.

Obama faced controversy during the 2008 presidential campaign over the fiery words of his longtime pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
