GUNS: God-Given Rights. Epitaph (3). White Settlement. Bang! The Dice Game.

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you!

I’ve been preaching … about God-given rights. They are not as “self-evident” as the founders asserted. And they certainly are not as important as the right God actually endowed us with.

I’ve been reading … Epitaph, by Mary Doria Russell. Again. The OK Corral incident was all about gun-control laws. They didn’t work then, and they don’t work now, because they don’t deal with the real problem. 

I’ve been hearing … about the White Settlement shooting. In all the talk about concealed carry permits and church security, we have ignored the real issue. And it’s not gun-related.

I’ve been playing … Bang! The Dice Game. The trick is to shoot the other team and not your own. Trouble is, you don’t always know who is who.  Sort of like in the church.
