I’ve ignored them for years but in my impressionable years they advocated heavily for conversion therapy for gays and lesbians and claimed scripture supported being transgender was sinful. Thought they do not advocate gun violence against us they do advocate intolerance. Gross, disgusting organization, worthy of severe criticism. Focus on the family? More like aim at the gays.

He has a grandfather in the state lege, and Colorado Springs is proud to call itself a "second amendment sanctuary" that passed local ordinances to undo the state gun laws.

So what you’re saying it is the failure of the government to enforce its own laws?
November 21, 20223 yr 31 minutes ago, Armybrat said: So what you’re saying it is the failure of the government to enforce its own laws? Well ultimately it's a failure of the leaders of the modern protestant evangelical movement to let so much hate fester within their walls. And to allow themselves to become so coopted by the political system and entrenched into the gun debate. When you add hate plus firearms, and multiply that by a faith-tinted righteousness in motivation and cover from corrupt cops that defy the law to secure the means of their terrorism.... It's a bit more complicated than "gUbMiNt BaD!!"
November 21, 20223 yr Haters are always going to be there, whether religious nuts or just plain nuts. Government scofflaws can be replaced.

November 21, 20223 yr ^ Yep, this. If you take firearms out of the equation, there have been so many, hundreds even, documented mass murders committed by male youths aged 18-28 killing/injuring multiple victims using hammers, knives, and ice cream scoops. We all know those legendary stories of young men killing a dozen people with a screwdriver or machete before someone was able to charge at them. Guns are just but one way that violent assholes are able to rage against the crowd.
