        <description><![CDATA[<p>Waffle House shooting victims ID'd as worker, star athlete, music artist</p>

<p>Last Updated Apr 22, 2018 11:27 PM EDT</p>

<p>Authorities have identified the victims of Sunday's shooting that left four people dead at a Waffle House in Tennessee. They were identified as 29-year-old Taurean C. Sanderlin, 20-year-old Joe R. Perez, 21-year-old DeEbony Groves and 23-year-old Akilah Dasilva.</p>

<p>"Hero" customer wrestled the rifle away from Waffle House shooter--</p>

<ol><li>What that "Black" man did to the shooter is an example of how to disarm a shooter with an AR-15 Rifle. Stop the killing.</li>
<li>All owners of these guns (AR-15s) should be registered and licensed. Some mental evaluation of these owers should be conducted.</li>
<li>All Christians of goodwill need to leave the NRA. Form an organization to help victim's families who experienced loss from guns like AR-15s.</li>
<li>What Christian in his or her right spiritual mind continue to support and endorse the NRA? Of course, how can encourage, endorse and keep silent about putting guns in the classrooms?</li>
<li><strong>GUNS KILLS! BLOOD IS SHED! PEOPLE DIE! FAMILIES ARE SHATTERED! PAIN IS REAL! INNOCENT PEOPLE ARE SLAUGHTERED!</strong></li>
</ol><h1 data-id="this-is-not-hyperbole-exaggerated-statements-or-claims-not-meant-to-be-taken-literally-an-exaggeration-overstatement-magnification-embroidery-embellishment-excess-overkill-rhetoric">This IS NOT "hyperbole" (exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally) an exaggeration, overstatement, magnification, embroidery, embellishment, excess, overkill, rhetoric.</h1>

<p>No Christian should own or endorse weapons of war into the hands of those, not of Ceasar's Army. To do so is to share in the outcome of its usage and the lost lives. It's time for Christians to put the Ten-Commandments above the Second Amendment! What say ye? CM</p>

        <title>Florida School Shooting-- NRA Christians to Blame?</title>

'We've seen the worst of humanity,' Florida school official says as 17 killed in campus shooting.</p>

<p>Deadly and sad as this incident may be, we have seen this before. Prayers, hugs, grief, anger, tears, but we have done that before. Politicians talk and vow to do nothing, we have seen this before. We shake our fists bury our dead, but we have done that before. Is this our reality of today or the signs of the times to come? Is this the new normal and we're to become desensitized and keep moving on? Do the Christians have a role in addressing this matter? If not in general, what about those that are members of the NRA?</p>

<p>Do Christians in the USA that are members of the NRA, share in the responsibility of what happened today, as well as, all the "mass shooting" of innocent people? Why raise such questions? Think of the many practical, common-sense laws that were drafted and rejected in recent years; some didn't even see the light of day. Isn't it time for Christian NRA Members to speak up and or step out of, the organization that is unwilling to prevent the slaughter of innocents? Their membership dues support lobbyists and prevent the enactment of laws to curve this type of killing, over the past ten years.  Christians everywhere stands for truth and life of all people. What happened to the American Christians? Have they become so politicized they have forgotten one of the most basic of the Ten Commandments-- "You shall not kill."  In a closer translation, it says, "You shall not murder." Please, don't say these laws aren't applicable today or to all men. If you do, you have just endorsed, just another day, in the "good old USA", upholding the rights of the NRA!</p>

<p>Please tell me, would one be justified in saying, that the blood of the victims, in these mass shootings, is on the hands of the Christians, who are members, of NRA in the USA? Can a case be made that they are tired into these killings, not of commission, but of omission? Are we not, our brother's keeper?  CM</p>
