What a crock of excrement. "Greensboro police asks residents to sign pledge, turn in guns."

"The first 1,000 people to sign the pledge will receive a small gift, according to police."

Official notice.

Greensboro police are asking at least 1,000 Greensboro residents to show their commitment to safety by signing a “Pledge of Nonviolence” from 9 am to 3 pm Saturday, November 14 at Destiny Christian Center, 2401 Randleman Rd.

At the same event, gun owners may safely turn in unwanted firearms. Police employees will accept handguns, rifles, shotguns, and ammunition at the event. This is not a buy-back program. No cash will be given in exchange for weapons voluntarily surrendered to police.

Uh, huh. I guess this pastor hasn't read Luke 22:36.

"Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one."

I wonder if they'll publicize the results of their fiasco ??; November 15, 2015 at 12:01 PM

FedUp said...: Wow.
If they were giving zero in exchange for firearms, they should have been very easy to outbid.; November 15, 2015 at 4:00 PM
ExpatNJ said...: Jack Van Impe is correct when he says there are a LOT of "super deceivers" out there. And the so-called 'pastors' leading the Destiny Christian Center certainly qualify.

Be extraordinarily what charities and churches you support; most are disarmists who deserve nothing but disprespect.; November 15, 2015 at 5:14 PM
Unknown said...: Of if it were only, the Greensboro police are asking at least 1,000 Greensboro residents to show their commitment to safety by delivering a known criminal to the justice system from 9 am to 3 pm Saturday, November 14 at Destiny Christian Center, 2401 Randleman Rd.

The first 1000 participants will receive a small bounty.; November 15, 2015 at 5:14 PM

Chiu ChunLing said...: So...any bets on the police signing a similar pledge of non-violence?

Or honoring it if they did?; November 15, 2015 at 11:45 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
