I missed the first thread.

Things might not be as bad as the spin seems to make it out, but "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley and "1984" by George Orwell should be required reading for every American. The similarities are unsettling.
 
Ha! backatcha

There is no connection between those two stories other than a few terms used in common such as "pastor", "guns", etc.

Don't put away your tinfoil hat just yet.
 
Ehh. UNPAID turn-in/amnesty programs strike me as "not ominous", especially with the way the article words the effort as directed against illegal guns and not just guns in general. Still, it'd be nice to see them address root causes (I'm sure the local social elders have a grocery list full of problems to deal with) instead of go after mere enablers.

Buybacks always struck me as stupid, because then someone might be encouraged to go out and steal more, just to sell them to the police.
 
They're unrelated.

Your first post fixates on the idea that a government agency is trying to tell clergy that they must help convince their people to comply with all government orders regardless of constitutionality. This one is nothing more than grass roots church sponsorship of a gun turn-in program in violence prone neighborhoods.

Anyone that thinks they are related desperately needs to work on their critical reading/thinking skills.

premature thinkus interruptus i.e. you've cum to the wrong conclusion too soon ;)
 
I was accused of being a member of the tinfoil hat brigade. Well see if I'm just another crazy after you read this second link. Don't worry, I'm not mad at you folks. Your probably just thought that this was just one more of my crazy rantings. Well this rant turned out to be true.

Not a question of craziness, rather one of experience and maturity. Keep learning, they'll both come... :)
 
The problem goes deeper than guns ,it's the culture ! A story in the NY Daily News today, headlined teenager saves lives of 4 in fire . Reading the story you find 'what's wrong with this picture ' -She is 14 and one of those she rescued is her own infant child, it was public housing, it was suspected arson .A wonderfull culture !!
 
I dunno, makes a lot of sense to me, considering whom they're targeting with the measure: parents and such of kids known to have guns. Give them a way to get the guns off of the street without retribution.

Keeping it unpaid probably increases the angel:junkyard dog ratio.
 
Churches have been doing voluntary gun turn-ins for years, which has no connection to an article written by one of the Lieutenants of the Royal Marching Tinfoil Bowler Brigade.

Ha, indeed.:rolleyes:
