The president of Liberty University, a popular pilgrimage site for presidential candidates, urged students during the schools convocation Friday to get their permits to carry concealed weapons.
In his remarks, President Jerry Falwell Jr., son of the late religious right leader Jerry Falwell Sr., pressed students at the Christian school in Lynchburg, Va., to carry weapons on campus following Wednesdays mass shooting in San Bernardino, Calif.
It just blows my mind that the president of the United States [says] that the answer to circumstances like that is more gun control, he said to applause.
If some of those people in that community center had what I have in my back pocket right now , he said while being interrupted by louder cheers and clapping. Is it illegal to pull it out? I dont know, he said, chuckling.

OP
He would say that because he knows that secretly Jesus handed out guns at his sermons.

Then and only then will we get serious gun control legislation.

Very few people see themselves as a bad guy. We want to see ourselves as heroes in the storyline of our lives. The person we see as a terrorist views themselves as avengers of righteousness and protectors.
Who exactly are these "good people" worthy of judging who should live an who should die? There sure are a lot of people out there with God complexes.
