Honestly – gun buybacks don’t work. It’s a completely foolish idea that is predicated on the misguided notion that by taking a dozen 80 year old revolvers of “t3h streetz”, you’ve somehow done something to reduce crime. It bothers me yet further that this scam is being pushed by men of the cloth, who really ought to know better. A religion that teaches that man is sinful by his nature should have been able to figure out that a sinful man is going to sin whether or not you take some guns away from him.
That would, of course, be true if they actually believed the Bible. Any pastor of a Christian church that buys into this garbage is probably more informed by his politics than Scripture.
Luke 22:36
He among you who is without a sidearm, let him sell his coat that he may buy one.
If preachers that preach gun control were right about the advances of human nature we wouldn’t need guns, or preachers. Maybe they should think about that when they pass the collection plate.
Anyone know what demonation it was? I couldn’t really tell from the article.
