Klingenschmitt: The Bible Says 'All The Citizens Ought To Be Armed So They Can Defend Themselves Against Left Wing Crazies'
Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Monday, 5/12/2014 11:46 am
On his "Pray In Jesus Name" program, Gordon Klingenschmitt discussed the recent shooting at a Fed Ex facility in Georgia, which he attributed to the fact that the facility was a gun-free zone, which is prohibited by the Bible. Klingenschmitt declared that the reason that Japan never invaded the United States is because "Californians carried guns" and warned that now the state "might be vulnerable to that" because the citizens are being disarmed.

"In 2010, Douglas Bruce was charged with money laundering, attempted bribery of a public official, and tax fraud after he was discovered to be using a small-government charity, he founded, to hide millions of dollars from the state taxman, pocketing interest and using the funds to further his political agenda.[10] The case went to trial during which Bruce acted as his own attorney and, after eight days of trail, on Dec 22, 2011, after only four hours of deliberation, jurors convicted Bruce on four counts.[10] On 13 February 2012 he was sentenced to two consecutive 90 day jail terms and six months of probation, during which he will have to make extensive financial disclosures to the court aimed to ensure he does not become a repeat offender. This was less than the two years of prison the District Attorney had asked for. He was also ordered to pay around $21,000 to cover the cost of prosecution and about $29,000 to cover the taxes that were owed.[11] State Assistant Attorney General Robert Shapiro said,"Mr. Bruce, for personal, selfish and narcissistic reasons, took advantage of our charitable-giving process. He was able to cheat Colorado for the better part of a decade."

TABOR is such a disgusting piece of work--I was talking to the librarians at my local branch, and we were discussing coffee. I was joking, and said "wouldn't it be wonderful if you brought in something like a keurig (and yes, I know all about the environmental downsides), and sold coffee, etc. make a few dollars to help with expenses." I was told that, thanks to TABOR and some weird complications, they CANNOT do this.
