Gun And Alcohol Case Could Put Citizens At Risk In Their Own Homes

“The Ohio Supreme Court will hear arguments in February to decide whether a law prohibiting gun owners from carrying firearms while intoxicated should be applied inside a gun owner’s home,” the Associated Press reported Saturday. Seeing an opportunity for a new and intrusive way to catch more gun owners in the disarmament net, the gun-grabbers are arguing that upholding an arrest is necessary for “the safety of Ohio residents and responding police officers.”
That dovetails nicely (for them) with an overall strategy to disarm citizens convicted of driving under the influence. And it moves things from the public setting right into the home, which is where the long game goal has always been.
My former professor, Dr. C. Gregg Singer, used to point out that the temperance movement was a manifestation of the social gospel, which itself was social Darwinism, or further back, followed Hegel (German synthesis/antithesis and evolutionary philosophy). Guns are the new alcohol. Paul told Timothy to drink a little wine for the sake of his infirmities. But “wine is a mocker.” It depends on the person. Guns protect the lives of the innocent, but kill the innocent, depending upon their use. It’s the person behind the trigger, just as it is the person holding the glass.
It’s the same thing with Pete’s abject failure at understanding anything to do with Christian theology when he connects the Christian faith to a “world without weapons.” In Pete’s world, no one really needs God, they just need themselves with good leaders, good as defined by Pete and his ilk. The world isn’t really fallen, we just all need the Bohemian, peacenik, flowerchild Jesus as our example and the world will be a better place. And little children love puppies, fluffy blankets and unicorns flying over rainbows.
There is nothing new under the sun. Mankind tried this at the tower of Babel. God knocked it down. End of story. Man cannot work his way to perfection, he has to believe in his heart and confess with his mouth that Jesus is Lord and that he can’t do nothing to save himself. That’s the scandal of the gospel, and the reason so many men oppose it.
Opposition to the gospel is never an epistemological and philosophical problem. It always has ethical roots. Pete’s chosen lifestyle is evidence of his high-handed sin against the Almighty.
Gun control is just another tower of Babel, but I do find it ironic that this latest manifestation includes alcohol. How appropriate.

Pete needs to read Luke 22:36. Jesus specifically ordered the remaining eleven disciples to secure their portable wealth, secure their bug out bags, and buy the common infantry weapon of the day. Even if they had to sell to shirt off their back to buy one. Jesus knew trouble was coming and he wanted the remnant to prepare for it.
This is a special kinda bullshit. Castle doc, my house, my fucking rules, period.

So, if you are spending a quiet Saturday night having a cocktail or two at home whilst cleaning your rifle after a day spent hunting, merely by carrying said rifle back to the safe, you would be in violation of the law. This is another law that is so nebulous and has so much room for interpretation that it will be predictably abused to the maximum. That is precisely why it is so nebulous. It’s nebulosity is a feature not a bug. It is designed that way on purpose.
I’m always armed. Just because I choose to have a beer doesn’t mean I’m going to give up my right to defend myself and my family. Never been a problem and never will be a problem. The state can go fuck themselves.
I had been thinking about this hippy love child Jesus when I ran across this, which is the beauty of the Gospels, I can’t tell you how many times I had read this parable but this last time it occurred to me that Jesus was pretty, uh, abrupt with people. After a short explanation of the simple truth conveyed by our Lord, I’ll tell you what this peacenik hippy did to them. “Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?” Why combereth it the ground? Those wicked, perverters of God’s holy Law should be what, given a pass? left to be running wild over all that is good and true and right, over the things of the blessings that Holy God has given them? No they will suffer death, and one most unpleasant. That’s a pretty tough statement by our Lord, think about it, it’s God asking; what are these people still doing breathing my air? Now, Jesus came first unto His own. “He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” His own, is referring to the Hebrews. The parable above is directed at the Jews. Now, you say might say; well that’s just figurative or illustrative, but I disagree. This is where the American Church is failing you and us as a Nation but mostly failing God. Here we get to Matthew 24, where so many ridiculous prophetic futurisms and even purposefully misleading interpretations of Scripture comes from. “And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.” Now, the disciples hadn’t even asked Him the three questions yet and Jesus… Read more »
Going to seize all possible weapons from potential drunks, are we? Belts, kitchen knives, hammers, glass bottles, pillows, bedsheets, pet rocks, fish aquariums, ropes, chains, jugs of bleach and ammonia …….. the list is long.
It’s one thing to pass a law, another to enforce it. The best kinds of laws are the ones that everybody flouts. Meanwhile, more names are going onto lists…
