ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS

Tennessee Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey calls on all Christians to carry handguns

The community college massacre in Oregon has led President Obama to call for stricter gun control, but the Lt. Governor of Tennessee took an entirely different approach. Because the shooter asked his victims if they were Christians, Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey called on all Christians to carry handguns.

Here is what Ramsey, a Republican, posted on Facebook:

As I scroll through the news this morning I am saddened to read the details of the horrible tragedy in Oregon. My heart goes out to the citizens of Roseburg — especially the families and loved ones of those murdered.

The recent spike in mass shootings across the nation is truly troubling. Whether the perpetrators are motivated by aggressive secularism, jihadist extremism or racial supremacy, their targets remain the same: Christians and defenders of the West.

While this is not the time for widespread panic, it is a time to prepare. I would encourage my fellow Christians who are serious about their faith to think about getting a handgun carry permit. I have always believed that it is better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it.

Our enemies are armed. We must do likewise.

State Rep. John Ray Clemmons accused Ramsey of choosing “the road most traveled by the radical right” and said the Lt. Governor’s remarks “reek of fear-mongering and religious crusading.” Clemmons, a Democrat from Nashville, recently introduced legislation to ban guns from concerts.

So what’s it going to be – onward Christian soldiers or more gun control? If all Christians plan to answer Ramsey’s call to carry handguns, the firearms manufacturers will be hard pressed to meet the demand for guns, the prices for which will skyrocket.
