God and Guns

This may seem like an oxymoron of sorts in that they are diametrically opposed concepts but these two words are perfect examples of the FIRST and SECOND Amendments to the US Constitution.....

• Freedom of Speech
• The Right to Bear Arms

HOWEVER,
these two concepts were somewhat united (this does not pertain the the Bill of Rights or the US Constitution) during the Crusades...

The Crusades were a series of religious wars initiated, supported, and sometimes directed by the Latin Church in the medieval period. The term refers especially to the Eastern Mediterranean campaigns in the period between 1096 and 1271 that had the objective of recovering the Holy Land from Islamic rule. The term has also been applied to other church-sanctioned campaigns fought to combat paganism and heresy, to resolve conflict among rival Roman Catholic groups, or to gain political and territorial advantage. The difference between these campaigns and other Christian religious conflicts was that they were considered a penitential exercise that brought forgiveness of sins declared by the church. Historians contest the definition of the term "crusade". Some restrict it to only armed pilgrimages to Jerusalem; others include all Catholic military campaigns with a promise of spiritual benefit; all Catholic holy wars; or those with a characteristic of religious fervour.  SOURCE:  Wikipedia

WHEREAS, in the US of A, the First and Second Amendments are connected in that they are part of the Bill of Rights for the American People, regardless of your color, ethnicity, or one's religious or political beliefs.

• We have a RIGHT to speak out
• We have a RIGHT to believe as we want to
• We have a RIGHT to bear arms

NO OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD HAS BOTH THESE RIGHTS

God and Country is what Americans believe, maybe not in that order but they believe in both...  and, when I say GOD, I am referring to A BELIEF OF FAITH, regardless of what that faith might be because even those who say they do not believe, actually believe in the fact that they don't believe and that, anyway you slice it is faith.

Faith is that which is hoped for...  so, those who do not believe in God actually have a belief in which they believe and they HOPE that their belief is correct....
