(TN Lt Gov) Ramsey encourages ‘fellow Christians’ to get gun permits


... “Our enemies are armed,” he added ...

Rep. John Ray Clemmons, D-Nashville, said in a statement that ... “Senator Ramsey unfortunately chose the road most traveled by the radical right.”

“There is an eerie absence of logic in his statement that ties one’s Christian faith to firearms ownership that is so offensive to all religions,” Clemmons went on. “Senator Ramsey is essentially saying that we should all run out and get a handgun carry permit to prove how serious we are about our Christian faith.

“Things have never ended well when any leader has asked people to take up arms in the name of their religious faith.”

Please don't call yourself a Christian; you've missed something crucial in your reading.
