A valid topic for another day. Especially under the current criminal regime, anything that smacks of “tough on crime” will mostly be misused as “tough on dissent”. That way lies horrors. ---

Yeah, there are two big problems with this. One is the pointing an actual gun at lots of people (“unloaded” or no), which is dangerous for obvious reasons. The other is exhorting a “violent action of faith” to “clear a room in faith” because “the enemy in hiding is working to keep you in a spirit of unbelief”, which is dangerous for many other reasons. I have to agree with this guy: > [@](#): > > YouTuber Hemant Mehta, who runs an account called [“Friendly Athiest,”](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DbD5cSJ84Hgo&sa=D&source=docs&ust=1759969825400391&usg=AOvVaw2ViCHx2Cb4cTeAyRJVXAJR)on Tuesday posted a separate video criticizing the sermon. > > “If there was a mosque anywhere in America where an imam did this, what do you think the reaction would be?” Mehta asked rhetorically.

I suppose it’d have been ~~funny~~ ironic if one of the many secretly armed parishioners thought it was a real attack and heroically opened fire on the hapless preacher to “neutralize the threat.” ---

In all seriousness, people who carry, carry everywhere. Further, attacks on churches have been in the news since forever, such that it’s not inconceivable that your happy gathering is viewed by some armed nutbag as a target to be attacked. Looking at the map of the county containing that church, it’s a virtual certainty there are many gun _owners_ in the crowd. The preacher’s actions certainly suggest he expected his rifle-toting antics would be well-received by his audience. I did not read in detail to see if the number of churchgoers was mentioned, but decent bet if it was over ~50, somebody in the audience was carrying a concealed pistol, whether legally or otherwise. ---
