I am not going to get into the Viginia Tech shooting at all. But, I am going to get into the right to own and bear arms. Some people say it is our God given right to own guns. Maybe. Maybe not.
I think "maybe" because a long time ago a famous couple got kicked out of a garden. How bad do you have to screw-up to get kicked out of a garden? Another story, another time. So, after that, everything changed. The guys picked up sticks and stones. Weapons anyone? Then they progressed to clubs and spears. Then they progressed to metals and had swords and shields and bow and arrows and you name it. I think everyone had some variation of these all through history. You gonna hunt or fight? You're gonna do both.
Then they got smarter and invented black powder which is used as gun powder. Then they invented "rifles" and "handguns" that used the powder and lead balls. These firearms were tweaked and improved upon over the years so that we have some might fine rifles and handguns. But, anyway, everyone who was anyone at all, had one or more to satisfy their hunting needs and self protection and protection of their family. Maybe not a God given right, but it is a right to own firearms.
Do you know what month is 'Buy a Firearm Month'? Well, if you don't, I'll tell you. It's January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, and December. Those are the 'Buy a Firearm Months'. Then there is the 'Buy a Firearm Day'. Those days are the first weekend of every month not listed in the 'Buy a Firearm Month'. Well, what about ammo you ask. Simple. Every day is 'Buy Ammo Day'.
So, If you don't have a firearm (why not?), you better get one. Great for self preservation and they do make some nice family heirlooms. And guys, teach your wives and daughters how to handle a firearm. It could save theirs and their family's lives.
Some people are scared to death of firearms. Catch your breath and hold on. These people are scared because of ignorance. A firearm is nothing but a mechanical device. Thats right, just a mechanical device, no electricity or other electronics that can make them confusing. Just simple mechanics. There are buttons or little levers to open these things up. You open it up and insert a bullet and close it again. Gun is loaded and in the case of some rifles, it is ready to shoot. Put the saftey on. Now, you better be scared, and I mean everyone. No time for carelessness now.
Handguns and some rifles need to be cocked at this time before you can shoot. Same procedure, put the safety on. When you are ready to shoot; ease the safety off, aim at your target, and gently squeeze the trigger. BANG!!! You did it. See how easy that was. Nothing to fear but ignorance of the operation of a firearm. Now you can control any situation where someone intent on doing some harm can be stopped. Talk about equal rights! This is the equalizer.
Remember, practice, practice, practice.

End Times
I believe we are living in the end times. Let me backup a minute here. I know we are living in the end times. How can I possibly know this? Because, the Bible tells me so. And, I am not a bible scholar.
We can start out looking at Daniel 12:4 where it is written that 'many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased'. Lets examine this a little bit further. 'Many shall run to and fro', means just that. Aren't people today traveling everywhere? By any means available? Airplanes and cars are the biggest people movers and they are moving people all over the planet all the time. Then there is this; 'knowledge shall be increased'. Look back over history and look at the last 100 - 125 years. That was the biggest explosion ever of knowledge and more is coming and at a faster clip that we can't keep up with it. OK, I can't keep up with it.
Then, there is Mathew 24 where Jesus is telling his Disciples about the end times. All kinds of things that we can observe going on right now. Oh yeah, then there is this little tidbit in verse 34 where he says this: This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Did you get the first part? This generation shall not pass .....
Then my favorite verses. 2nd Timothy 3:1-7. All kinds of things going on that is quite evident, even to the most casual observer. I really like verse 7: Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Someone hit me with a 2 x 4 if this isn't talking about college professors the world over. And these clowns are supposedly teaching our kids and grandkids. Is there some repetition going on here? Yeah, I thought so. Daniel said this about knowledge being increased.
Then, of course there is the book of Revelations. Again, all kinds of things going on; especially wars and who is ganging up on Israel. Daniel 11 tells me, I don't know about you, that it is going to be Russia and Iran. And who is playing so well together today in the sandbox. Oh yeah, the anti-christ, too.
Now, we come to the crux of the matter. After reading these different passages of coming events, anyone notice that the good ol' USA is not mentioned. Nothing at all about the West. But, aren't we the greatest nation that ever came along. Look at what we have done for ourselves and others on this planet. Anytime there is a need, we are the charitable ones that help out. Someone being bullied, we stop it. Etc. Etc. Etc. Well, guess what folks. We are going under.
Political correctness and moral relativism are eating away at our society and culture. We cannot and do not recognize evil when we see it and heaven forbid we should label it as such when something does happen or is said. And, more important than that, don't do anything about it. Don't repudiate it. Just accept it and move along. This is why we are going under. We are rotting from the inside out.
We are no different than Europe right now. No morals. No strength of character. No integrity. Nothing. I'm talking about the majority of the people in this country now. That is why I don't expect a real conservative (national security, law and order, christian values) to ever being elected again.
I give this country 15 more years, at the most. That is 3 election cycles. It could happen sooner than that. Then after our demise, then all of the other things really fall into place.
I also believe that the anti-christ is alive and well in the world today. He (she?) is now attending a prestigious school someplace and becoming fully indoctrinated by above mentioned college professors. Also, this young, brillant, personable, individual will say that he was inspired by some despicable leader who is on the world stage now. Remember now, this is the anti-christ. No moral compass at all and its all about him. Everything to advance his own personal agenda and himself.
Now, what catastrophic event could happen that would reverse or stall these forecoming disasters? Nothing devine because that would mean that mankind has looked at itself and came to the conclusion that we are screwed up and need to change our ways. Anyone see that happening? Anyone?
Lets play with this idea for awhile. Suppose there was another big outbreak of some killer disease, like the plague, and killed off half of the planet. Billions dead. And luckily enough, the right people are gone. Miraculously a cure is discovered and mankind is spared and lives on. I'm not buying this idea because this smacks of devine intervention. Stop and think about it, devine intervention is available now, but no one is going there. See the first 4 paragraphs of this post. We are in one big spiral heading down the drain.
If I'm right, I look like a genius. If I'm wrong, then I am someone to be ridiculed. But, then again in 15 years, who will care what I said 15 years ago.
