The roots I'm comfortable with are the radical---"to get to the root of"---and that's Jesus's teaching. The shame is how far the Christian community has drifted from it. We act irrationally from fear when the Christian message is to fear not, even death itself.We call ourselves Christian nations and stockpile ammunition, need concealed carry to protect ourselves and a regulated militia without regulations to protect us from our own governments, abandoning Jesus's teaching to defend it.
I can sleep w/o locking my front door and don't even have need to carry defensive handgun. I do not understand fear some people display, but I do understand certain certain media outlets and politicians use concept of promoting fear to their own advantage. The break down of family unit and or values plus easy access to firearms means that situation regarding events like what happened in Florida recently aren't going to go away.
I just bought a Remington and noticed nice made in India leather belts with faux Remington 12ga shell bases up to waste size 52" can be bought at Walmart for $16. What appears to be same belt sold under Browning label cost $50 at Cabela's . Wonderful shotgun wonderful belts.
Remington Akbar.
