Well this is a great way to end the Lord’s Day!! The big potato tweeted that if want to live in peace, we better just ban all weapons.
Do we really want peace? Then let’s ban all weapons so we don’t have to live in fear of war.

Dude.
I don’t even know where to begin with this. The church has a loooooong history of using weapons to defend their interests, and now is not the time to blame the weapons. We can ban the weapons when there’s no longer evil in the human heart. Until then, weapons are necessary for self-defense.
Meanwhile, America’s pope, Donald Trump is doing the opposite – he’s going to speak at the next NRA meeting to own the libs.
President Trump is expected to speak at the National Rifle Association’s (NRA) annual meeting this week, CNN reported Sunday.
A White House spokesperson told the network that details are still being finalized, and declined to comment further.
The NRA’s annual meeting will take place May 3-6 in Dallas. Vice President Pence is scheduled to speak there on Friday.
Trump has delivered remarks at each of the past two annual meetings for the gun rights group.
Take that, Pope!!!
Anyway, have yourselves a lovely open thread.
