Tennessee Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey calls on all Christians to carry handguns
BarkGrowlBite | October 6, 2015
When I posted ‘Onward Christian Soldiers’ on BarkGrowlBite, txlt44 responded by saying that Texans are already well armed and he ventured that 90 percent of Texas concealed carry license holders are Christians.
txlt44 made the following points:
Most of these folks already have the pistols. They just leave them at home. The gun market may rise a little, but Tennessee, like Texas, is already well armed.
I'd venture to say 90% of the concealed carry folks in Texas are Christians. In fact, in Texas you can keep a firearm in your vehicle and not even hold a concealed carry permit if you are not a convicted felon.
I'll wager that the majority of Christian homes contain multiple firearms. Let's not dismiss that bunch of Texas good old boys and girls who are hunters and who probably own several rifles, shotguns and pistols.
I did not believe that a majority of Texas Christians were armed. But then I looked at some stats. Texas has a population of about 27 million. There are almost 23 million guns owned in Texas. That proves txlt44 to be right and me wrong. However, while txlt44 believes that 90 percent of concealed carry license holders in Texas are Christians, I think the number is more like 99 percent.
Florida, with a population of 20 million, had nearly 1.4 million concealed carry permit holders as of March 2015, while Texas had 825,957 as of December 2014. I could not find the number of guns owned by Floridians, but since the number of concealed carry license holders does not account for the total number of guns owned in Florida, one would have to conclude that like Texans, most Floridians are armed. And the vast majority of those Florida gun owners are Christians.
Txlt44 was wrong though when he said Texas was well armed. Texas is not well armed – like Florida, Texas is armed to the teeth.
Don’t mess with Texas Christians or its soldiers will shoot you dead.

ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS
Tennessee Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey calls on all Christians to carry handguns
BarkGrowlBite | October 4, 2015
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.

REPORT: INCREASE IN GUN SALES TO BE MOST CONCRETE RESULT OF OBAMA’S PRO-GUN-CONTROL SPEECH
The Onion | October 3, 2015
WASHINGTON—Researchers at the Urban Institute published a study Friday confirming that a sharp increase in gun sales nationwide would be the most concrete result of the impassioned pro-gun-control speech that President Obama delivered following yesterday’s mass shooting in Oregon.
“According to our analysis, by far the most tangible impact of the president emotionally urging the nation to consider how their votes can prevent mass shootings like this will be a 17 percent spike in revenue for firearm vendors across the U.S.,” said report co-author Kyle Bieler, who found a direct link between the estimated $58 million uptick in gun sales over the next month and Obama’s use of the phrases “common-sense legislation,” “only advanced country,” and “not enough.”
“The portion of the president’s remarks in which he asked for support from state legislatures and governors will, based on our projections, nearly double the number of sidearm purchases this year. Beyond that, the only other material change that is likely to result from Obama calling on elected officials and everyday citizens to work together to reduce gun violence will be the purchase of roughly 100 million rounds of ammunition.”
Bieler noted that the president’s support for responsible gun ownership will likely have no impact on sales, as Americans would have likely already walked out of their front door, started their car, and driven to their nearest gun store long before that point in the speech.

A MAN WITH NO ENEMIES
Toward the end of the Sunday service, the Minister asked, "How many of you have forgiven your enemies?"
80% held up their hands. The Minister then repeated his question. All responded this time, except one man, Walter Barnes.
"Mr Barnes, are you not willing to forgive your enemies?"
"I don't have any," he replied gruffly.
"Mr Barnes, that is very unusual. How old are you?"
"Ninety-eight," he replied. The congregation stood up and clapped their hands.
"Oh, Mr Barnes, would you please come down in front and tell us all how a person can live ninety-eight years and not have an enemy in the world?"
The old man tottered down the aisle, stopped in front of the pulpit, turned around, faced the congregation, and said simply, "I outlived all the pricks" - and he calmly returned to his seat.

PUBLIC LIMELIGHT APPARENTLY THE MOTIVE OF OREGON MASS SHOOTER
In an August social media post, Chris Harper-Mercer wrote about how much he admired shooters who were unknown loners, but became ‘known by everyone’
BarkGrowlBite | October 2, 2015
Everyone is wondering what Chris Harper-Mercer’s motive was for his shooting spree on the Umpaqua Community College campus in Roseburg, Oregon. Well here’s a good clue:
“On an interesting note, I have noticed that so many people like him [Vester Flanagan who killed a newscaster and her cameraman] are all alone and unknown, yet when they spill a little blood, the whole world knows who they are. A man who was known by no one, is now known by everyone. His face splashed across every screen, his name across the lips of every person on the planet, all in the course of one day. Seems the more people you kill, the more you're in the limelight.”
That’s what the nutjob posted on social media last August. Apparently, like other unknown loners, he wanted to be in the public limelight and be known by everyone. Harper-Mercer got his wish and is now known throughout the world, albeit posthumously.

STUPID REPUBLICAN LEADER IS AS STUPID REPUBLICAN LEADER DOES
Kevin McCarthy, John Boehner’s apparent heir as Speaker of the House, brags about setting up the Select Committee on Benghazi in order to damage Hillary Clinton
BarkGrowlBite | October 2, 2015
“Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping. Why? Because she’s untrustable. But no one would’ve known any of that had happened had we not fought and made that happen.”
Thus bragged Kevin McCarthy on Tuesday night during an appearance on Fox News with Sean Hannity. In one fell swoop McCarthy managed to destroy the credibility of the Benghazi committee while handing Hillary the perfect means with which to jackhammer her critics.
McCarthy, R-Kookfornia, is the current House Majority Leader and is expected to succeed John Boehner as Speaker of the House, that is before he pulled this boner. If he represents the leadership of the Republicans, the GOP is in serious trouble.
McCarthy’s bragging confirmed what many voters suspected and what Hillary and Bill have claimed – that the Benghazi hearings and the attendant uproar over her cellphone were much to do about nothing and their only purpose is to damage Hillary’s presidential ambitions.
Stupid Republican leader is as stupid Republican leader does. McCarthy just elected Hillary as our next president.

UTTER SEXUAL EXHAUSTION NO EXCUSE FOR MISSING FINAL EXAM
A college teacher reminds her class of tomorrow's final exam. 'Now class, I won't tolerate any excuses for you not being here tomorrow. I might consider a nuclear attack or a serious personal injury, illness, or a death in your immediate family, but that's it, no other excuses whatsoever!'
A smart-ass student in the back of the room raised his hand and asked, 'What would you say if tomorrow I said I was suffering from complete and utter sexual exhaustion?'
The entire class is reduced to laughter and snickering. When silence was restored, the teacher smiled knowingly at the student, shook her head and sweetly said, 'Well, I guess you'd have to write the exam with your other hand.'
