\u2026but we will trust in the aim of the gun our god.<\/a>\u00a0 Gobs\u00a0of \u201cfaithful\u201d Catholics all over St. Blogs were cheering for a Catholic priest when they thought he was going to blow off all that stuff about not living by the sword and train\u00a0his flock to pack heat. \u00a0In a hyper-typical combox comment, one guy wrote:<\/p>\n

Sadly, our \u201cShepherd\u201d in ATL has issued an edict to forbid us from bringing guns into \u201chis\u201d parishes. I\u2019m still waiting for an edict from him to NOT join Planned Parenthood, the Freemasons or work at an abortion mill.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Because who ever heard of the fact that abortion is contrary to Catholic teaching before\u2013or that a bishop has the right to legislate what can and cannot be done on Church grounds under his authority?<\/p>\n

Sadly, for this and many other gun zealots, the priest\u2019s\u00a0bishop dared to dissent from his Americanist wisdom, stating that \u201cConcealed Pistol License classes are inappropriate activities to be held on Church property\u201d, so the priest backed down<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, this courageous defender of our gun culture accident exercised his second amendment rights against his toddler daughter<\/a>, while this man accidently made sure that he would never have any daughters to shoot<\/a>, something that happens a lot in the US\u2013something we should not and cannot do anything about so just shut up, according to the NRA. \u00a0It\u2019s the cost of freedom, doncha know, and it\u2019s more important than the lives of innocents.<\/p>\n

Speaking of costs of the gun culture, the ritually impure Mother Jones<\/em> does something the NRA has worked extremely hard to make sure never happens at the federal level: researched the actual cost of gun violence in the US.<\/a>\u00a0 It\u2019s $229 billion each year. \u00a0And that\u2019s just the cost in money. \u00a0It\u2019s also 30,000 lives. \u00a0If ISIS were wreaking that much damage on our soil each year, FOX would be calling for all out war. \u00a0But since we do it to ourselves, it\u2019s all good. \u00a0Because Realism dictates we focus on the fantasy of portly suburban Texans led by Cliven Bundy warring with the 101st Airborne and driving them back to Washington DC and retaking the White House from the Kenyan Muslim when he comes to put us in Shariah camps, and not on the actual mound of dead bodies that pile up in the US each year. \u00a0Gun Realism means looking, not at the dead children of Sandy Hook, but at the theory that the parents of the victims were part of an elaborate conspiracy to fake a school shooting in order to make gun nuts look bad.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
