God, Guns, Guts and American Pickup Trucks!

The issue being discussed was whether or not it is irresponsible to be selling guns along with cars. It quickly turned into a discussion on how God's love corresponded with the need for peace-loving people to use guns. I think the reporter and car dealership owner got a little bit confused on what the actual interview was supposed to be about!

The greatest line was when the reporter says, "What would Jesus do? Would he carry a gun?" The dealer responds by saying, "They didn't have guns back then but I do believe He'd carry a sword if He needed it but He was so powerful He didn't need any weapon."

Christ's power came from wielding no other weapon but the Truth. He was so confident in His mission to save His children that He became sin for us and entered into the grave. In a very real way, Jesus did exactly what a man with a gun would do to protect his family. He took the fight to His enemy and defeated Him. He defeated Satan and led death into captivity. Thus, any Christian who desires to save life from the evildoer is scripturally taught to defend others even if it means using an AK-47 to do so!

  1. I love how the news anchor asks how much the AK-47 is and she's like "Just curious." It's like she needs to clarify she's not plotting world domination or anything. "I'm just curious." Yeah, ok. And what ever happened to just giving away like a tote bag with the car? When did we jump to guns?

  2. They're just gimmicks! People will sell something whatever it takes. I find it humorous that many car dealerships share their patriotism bona fides and plaster signs that say "support the troops" all over the place. As soon as a military member comes in, many such places get them for all they're worth. I should know, it almost happened to me!
