Ever watch Joel Olsteen? The people who pay more get to sit up by the stage. They are closer to God and their Heaven.

want to trade money for their inability to live up to their professed "Christian" values, welllllll its hard to fault Joel Osteen for "being there"for them. They could be snorting coke for the amount of money it takes them to build a stairway to heaven. Osteens all right. Its the rest of them that get me: Earnest Angley comes to mind.

Osteens almost a "new age" fundamental Christian.

order against them has to completely be disarmed. Anyone with any sort of conviction for family violence should be declined any right to ownership of firearm or edged weapons.

Not too long ago I was totally 100% against anything but the most primitive sort of gun control: no one convicted of a firearms violation, no one even considered mentally ill.

But it has become apparent that there is no way to effect any change on mass shootings without background checks and maybe a ballistic record of every weapon at its factory and placed into a database. Registration of all weapons. No private sales.

Reality trumps the vague rights granted by the second amendment. It seems to me "regulated" means subject to laws that protect the most of us from the least of us.
