Excellent thread folks, been following for quite a while now, but nothing to add but this:
"...endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights..." It is well defined and sternly warned by our Founders that our form of government is fit only for a moral people. "We the People" have steadily and increasingly chosen to depart from that Creator, and have chosen rather to gorge on the most ungodly of appetites; such as would cause so many of our fore fathers to blush with shame and anger, that their children so happily tread on their sacrifices and blood.
It is also well defined by The Almighty that our departure from his demands absolutely shall result in the departure of our freedoms and the despising of those "inalienable rights" by our leaders and our enemies.
Yup, I'm 100% NRA, I send them $, I preach the 2A to all that will and will not hear, I've taught my kids, their friends, and my church teens to dig guns. But we cannot save our freedoms while we thumb our noses at God. The only hope of delaying, reversing, or preventing the destruction of any of our freedoms is to return to God in humility and in deed.
I was raised total left-wing and converted (to Christ and conservative) 32 years ago when I was a 20yr old gun hating, liberal doping boozing classic rock musician. Just letting you know...
I'm not accusing anyone here of being "bad", just putting the information out there, because this angle on the thing hasn't come up so far...
