Who knew? The St. Gabriel Possenti Society
The St. Gabriel Possenti Society promotes the public recognition of St. Gabriel Possenti, including his Vatican designation as Patron Saint of Handgunners.

St. Gabriel Possenti was a Catholic seminarian whose marksmanship and proficiency with handguns single-handedly saved the village of Isola, Italy from a band of 20 terrorists in 1860.

The Possenti Society offers a variety of materials related to St. Gabriel Possenti and a biblical understanding of self-defense.

To find out about self defense and the Bible, you must pay $10 for a monograph by Rev. Anthony L. Winfield.

And you thought the NRA was radical. St. Francis must be appalled.

2. I suppose those 'terrorists' were Garibaldi's...
...redshirts, attempting to establish an Italian republic, and to liberate the Papal States.

Como si dice 'teabagger' in italiano? Questo tipo era una vera e propria bustina di tè....
