'God's Army': Louisiana Locals Train To Protect Their Churches With Guns

Some Louisiana residents have recently been attending firearms training sessions so they can carry concealed weapons into churches, in accordance with a law passed over last summer.

Back in July, Gov. Bobby Jindal signed a law that allows churches, mosques, and synagogues in Louisiana to establish a "security plan" for their constituents, permitting members of the congregation with concealed weapons permits to carry guns during services. Part of the law requires eight hours of tactical training with local law enforcement before someone can begin carrying inside a house of worship.

~snip~

Last weekend, 20 people attended the first of multiple Church Security Training Sessions at the Bossier Sheriff's gun range (...)

~snip~

"Over the past several years, the violence has gotten worse and worse" said Jim Middleton, one current trainee. "I'd rather be proactive than working after the fact. We're all in God's army, and you don't see any army going to war unarmed."

Louisiana State Rep. Henry Burns (R), who wrote the original legislation, visited the class, and told the trainees that "each and every one of you here are patriots because you care to provide protection to the innocent. We should be able to worship our Lord without fear."

1. The only church that was shot up was a liberal Unitarian church in Knoxville
and the stupid fat white man who did it was a certifiable fan of Fox News and Michael Savage.

9. Pass the Vaseline and some mouthwash
Jindal and his ultra-right wing cronies are dismantling our entire public and higher education system in addition to all the other bull shit, like cutting state pensions of the elderly.

After most Americans are brought to their knees, leaving them nothing left for which to live, then the corpofascists will reap the whirlwind.

10. Or shoot themselves in the head instead of dying of 10 different forms of cancer.
The others will shoot themselves in the head or kill one of their children by accident while cleaning their guns.

4. This mindset is no longer just creeping up on us.
It is gathering momentum. When it is decided who will be the fundmentalist Torquemada I will really start shaking in my boots.

7. here's a Christian group" that will assist the churches
only if you dare

http://www.kkkk.net/
The IKA is a private Christian organization. In the past the KKK received a Charter from US Congress because of our great moral and good Christian behavior. We will continue to love one another of our own race, culture and future no matter what the devil and his world says about us. Much slander and Hollywood drama has nothing to do with the facts. Look where the slander comes from, Foreign Israeli registered and Criminal ADL is the main source of all the information against us. This is a criminal and terrorist organization aligned with the JDL who historically has bombed more places in the United States than any other known group. As the foreign criminal ADL lobbies the Senate and the House to pass more bills and laws, the news media publishes their Slander and Lies to sell more newspapers and get more donations to the ADL, which are all partners in the same crimes against Americans. The media goes to court on telling lies all the time, but in their defense they say they have a First Amendment right to lie on the media. This is what all the Television and Newspaper companies say as they feed you with their lies and more Hollywood fantasy propaganda. The Klan always has to back up what we say with facts, while the media says they have a right to lie and are protected Alien Jew Owners from the international jewish banking cartel who run satan's world and system.

We come in the name of THE LORD God JESUS CHRIST, Amen.



If you are not of the White race, this web site is not for the likes of YOU! We reserve the right of free speech to state our views whether our enemies like it or not. The IKA hates: Muds, spics, kikes and niggers. This is our God given right! In no way do we advocate violence. We believe in educating our people to the monopolistic Jewish control of the world's banks, governments, and media. White education is what ZOG hates and why it tries to imprison White Racialists.

13. So, what's worth killing for in their church buildings?
The pastor? The congregants? The sound system? The offering plate? The cover on the altar? The floor? The air? Do they have a plan or just a mindset?

17. Well, I am certainly not willing to let people like that be the only ones armed.
If there were a God who was on their side, wouldn't they have divine protection? It just makes me vomit that here we are in the 21st century and there are still millions of people who worship imaginary gods. It's almost enough to make me doubt evolution.

21. Moranic Projection: "We should be able to worship our Lord without fear."
I'm sure the Black folks in the church down the road, the Jews up the road and the Muslims in the nearest town are all breathing a sigh of relief.

26. Ah this can go so wrong
oh and folks realize something else... if and when we go to war and it affects the US... them houses of worship are NO LONGER neutral under the Geneva Concention... ESPECIALLY if this is an internal conflict.'

Chew on that, and the TRADITIONAL role of (insert house of worship here) as a refuge for civilians.
