Problem is that they have metal detectors and almost TSA like security on way into the park. Is the fair worth the hassle of trying to carry through that? Previously those with LTCs were past around the metal detectors but not right now. Note last year (or was it a couple years ago) they had a kid (prohibited person) somehow get a gun in and shoot two people. I think this instance is great example of how safe licensed carriers are - as there were probably several in the same space. Those private individuals recognize they are not police, that shooting stopped before they could have reacted, and that shooting in a crowd presents extra hazards. Far as I’ve heard, none of those people legally carrying presented their weapons - and they certainly not escalate the situation.

Call the shop, they know the guy cos he went into their shop last week and bought a bunch of Glocks. We tell the ATF and local PD like "yo, this guy bought at least 12 of the same model handgun" and their response was "keep selling them to him but keep his 4473s at hand in case we need them."

[@Liberty4Ever]

The Texas State Fair story is too familiar. Kentucky has a firearms preemption act, KRS 65.870. It prevents local governments from passing their own anti-2A ordinances that would create a patchwork of gun laws across the state that would be nearly impossible for a citizen to navigate. It was a simple law but there were no consequences for violating 65.870 so the local control freaks ignored it and did whatever they liked in their little fiefdoms. We'd sue, and usually win... eventually... and they'd take down their No Gun signs for a year and the next administration would put them right back up again. We got sick of this nonsense. In 2012, some 2A folks found a state legislator willing to fix the problem. 65.870 was amended to add penalties for this specific official misconduct... up to a year in jail. It's doubtful a politician would be sentenced to a year in jail, but it's difficult to be reelected when found guilty of official misconduct. 65.870 went from two sentences to more than a page. My contribution was a clause prohibiting local governments from hiring companies that would create anti-2A policies when administering local government events. I'd dealt with that tyranny for years. The Lexington Fayette Urban County Government would hire the Downtown Lexington Corporation (their crony pals, the local government version of the persistent deep state) to manage every event. The DLC would create a rule stating that nobody could bear arms in the 4th of July Parade (patriots call it the Independence Day Parade) and that anti-2A corporate rule would be enforced by LFUCG police paid with my tax dollars. That's specifically illegal now. Fighting tyrants is so frustrating. The various forms of immunity typically make them completely immune to prosecution for violating our rights per 42 U.S. Code § 1985.

Catholic here. Bishops can be political and they can be wrong. Father said to me once “live like a medieval peasant. They didn’t know the pope or the bishops name, not to mention what they were saying” so if they’re saying silly things, I ignore them.

[@warrenphilips8441]

Well, that's not exactly Catholic theology. Collectively the bishops, the magisterium of the church, has teaching authority, so you are obligated to listen to ecumenical councils. You should also allow your conscience to be formed by the teaching authority of your local bishop. Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition have the greatest weight, so we can measure teachings against those. However, the personal opinion of a single bishop on a matter outside of faith and morals is not binding. "More like guidelines."

[@beasthayabusa1999]

@@warrenphilips8441 correct but unless it’s dictated and not just a written or spoken opinion, it’s not binding or even recommended.

[@userJohnSmith]

Never had a bishop of my diocese advocate for gun control, at least to my knowledge. Most priests I know do advocate for peace and tolerance, etc in a much more extreme fashion than normal folks, especially in an individual level, but the idea of just war is deeply Catholic and collective ownership isn't, and shouldn't, explicitly discouraged because the benefits have become apparent other time. Given our rather hostile history with fascist and communist governments during the 20th, and our own history with abuse of power, I don't expect that to change in any broad way. If the throne of St. Peter can't be trusted with a monopoly in violence, how could any other government hope to be worthy of it.

[@lukecoomer9349]

Here's my theological question: if you think Christianity prevents you from carrying a gun to protect others, what do you do when confronted by evil? Do you let someone hurt innocents so you can say you did the Christian thing? If someone is going to choose to put others lives at risk, why is it wrong to prevent them from carrying that out? I think it's far more Christian to protect innocent life, even if that requires killing someone who already chose to put others lives at risk.

[@OspreyKnight]

Christianity runs the gamut from pacifist to the extreme to suicide cult. What you think right now is 2000 years of people reading translations, interpretations, justifications, propaganda, counter-propaganda, theological debates and cultural shifts. Christ the Shepard, Christ the judge, Christ the companion. Romans thought Christianity was a cannibal death cult following a criminal. Which it is both theologically and (mostly) literally correct. Sacrament is ritually consuming the body and blood of Christ(and early on there were cults that... lost something in translation). Death and resurrection is the theme and goal. And by Roman law, Christ was a rebel. There were cults early on that would repeatedly and rabidly attack caravans for the purpose of getting themselves killed which led to the major churches classifying suicide a sin. Christian history is absolutely wild.

When they came to arrest Jesus, Simon Peter drew his sword... a sword that he had been carrying the whole time, a sword that Jesus the son of God was well aware his disciple was carrying... and chopped a guy's ear off trying to stop them. Jesus stopped Simon Peter, telling him to sheath his sword, that this was supposed to happen. Jesus didn't freak out that Simon Peter had a sword or that he had attacked someone with it. He didn't tell Simon Peter to throw it away or to surrender it to the authorities. Jesus told him to sheath it, as in to keep it. And it wasn't illegal for people traveling cross country in Roman held territories to have weapons because there were so many bandits, and the Romans didn't mind civilians thinning out the bandit numbers for them. Carrying a weapon in larger cities was discouraged, but the Romans actually encouraged travelers to be armed. I point the latter out because some people, Jews especially, have a habit of claiming they were armed just to get Jesus arrested, as if having weapons at all was illegal. Context is important, as is knowing actual history and not some fabricated version used to support an agenda. Orwell warned us about that.

[@whelper4231]

They were armed to get Jesus arrested. He needed to look like a rebel leader with guards so that he would be taken into custody and judged. When he did not answer questions during the trial, he was sentenced to be crucified. This lead to the resurrection and his revelation as the son of God. I am not Jewish or even religious. I just know how to read a story, and this one doesn't lend any credence or support to our 2A rights with the parroting of Luke 22:36. It's just being used as a misleading sound bite.

Jesus said to turn the other cheek because of the fact that a backhand slap from a Roman was done as to demonstrate they were someone subservient or subordinate, while a slap with the palm was a sign that you were considered their equal, such as would carry much later into days of honor duels, where one approached as an equal would be slapped with an open palm, while someone of lesser standing would be backhanded. It was also more insulting to be backhanded as it presumed one inferior or lesser.

Spot on. I've preached this exact point in homilies.

[@whelper4231]

This is an interesting idea...🤔 What would be the implementation, that one would turn their head to the right presenting their left cheek to be slapped? I don't know when the concept of right and left came into being, but I guess maybe one might say "this is my hand" for their right hand, and "this is my other hand" for their left hand. So then your "other cheek" would be the left one? Obviously, left handed people could exist, but they would be looked down on in any regimented formations because they throw things off, right? That's why we still have a certain disdain for left handed people today, even if it is a joke anymore.

[@jacob.tudragens]

"Turning the other cheek" is meant to show the offending party that the first slap was not warranted, but they have a chance now to apologize.

[@whelper4231]

@@jacob.tudragens That is the interpretation that I always thought, but the idea shared here makes a certain amount of sense as well depending on how they used the terms.

Nehemiah commanded the workers who were rebuilding the temple, to carry a trowel in one hand, and a sword in the other as they worked.

I grew up Catholic and left the faith when I left the house! The hypocrisy was unbearable.

Like many things, when you create perverse incentives, you will get bad outcomes.

[@BunyipDude]

Same here. I got so sick of the Church as I got older, especially as the Pope became more and more of a politician pandering to the left. I will also never forgive the church for being neutral in WWII and the GWOT. I am now a non-denominational Christian. I hate to say it, but any Catholic today must admit to themselves that the church is NOT an ally to our community, or the fight to preserve the Constitution in general.

Is never been about crime prevention. It's all about charges and convictions. How else do you measure performance and statistics? It literally behoovs law enforcement NOT to do something UNTIL the crime occurs... if they prevented it they'd be hurting their own profits(both legal and financial)

I tried to write to Mr Erlandson but couldn’t get the Angelus site to allow me. I wanted to ask him if the Vatican was clearing out its arms room and laying off its security staff.

IT IS IMMORAL TO NOT OWN A GUN...OR 2 OR 3 OR 4

My priest has been going hard on abortion lately, haven't heard him say anything about guns.i carry almost every day.

[@sbacsigadget]

When Cain killed Abel with a rock I believe if Abel had a gun the story being told would be quite different, don't you? the Pope is guarded by the most elite Swiss Military officers in the world, I'm sure Jesus would turn the other cheek and approve.
