“Sometimes it’s the simplest things that make the biggest difference. For many years I’ve used the 3 R’s I learned from Ben Patterson to pray through Scripture.

3. RequestWith every verse in the Bible we can do one (or more likely, all three) of these things.”

I have been wondering about this recently — I was always taught as a child that the 2nd Amendment was about empowering citizens for violent insurrection should it ever become necessary. This is a very succinct explanation of how that notion morphed into the notion of firearms for personal protection that is prevalent today.
