Indeed. I suppose we should reprint the old bumper stickers which
appeared right after the Waco Massacre: "Is your church BATF approved?"

I'm not interested in defending my faith with a gun. However, I would
insist it's not "out there" to expect I may some day need to defend
something more like human life against the assault of my government. I
seriously doubt it would have mattered who won the election; that day is
bound to come, as it has with just about every government in human
history. I'd sure like to meet them on equal terms, if possible.

I'll take that AK-47, thank you.
