If you are Christian (and a Republican), how do you react to an image like this?  It absolutely horrifies me but I am neither Christian nor conservative.  I would have thought that most religious people would just be sickened by this weird god, guns and flag.  I can sort of get associating your religion with your political party (maybe?). But the rest feels like such a violation. [/quote]

Horrified?  Um,

- Trump was democratically and fairly elected. You may hate him (he may even horrify you).  But that is democracy.

- the guns are rifles (or carbines); either way, they are “long guns.”  Despite the media’s constant barrage of increasingly horrifying rhetoric (and I agree the incident was horrific beyond words), here are the facts:

[b]- there were more Americans killed with clubs, fists and kitchen knives last year than with “long guns” of ANY TYPE - including so-called assault rifles.  The chance of being killed with a rifle of any type is incredibly incredibly rare.  That is just a fact.   The fear that you or your child is about to die in a mass shooting is simply irrational hysteria.  [/b]

- do a Wikipedia search on “DC v. Heller.”  The short wiki page explains that personally owning - at home - a firearm is a right protected by our constitution, and it’s extremely unlike the constitution will be amended anytime soon.  So people who write on DCUM “ban all guns” are being unrealistic in the extreme.

The flag is not, as you put it, a “violation.”[/quote]

FACT: Guns are the #1 cause of death among children in the USA. #1. Do you buckle your kids up when they get into a car? Because if you do, then you must suffer from irrational hysteria, since more kids are killed by guns than in cars these days.  :roll: [/quote]
