U.S. gun laws fall short, implies new LDS Church President Russell Nelson

His comments to a congregation of Mormon millennials in Las Vegas marked the second time the recently installed LDS leader has weighed in on a major national issue since he took the reins of the Utah-based faith nearly six weeks ago.

“I know your hearts are heavy, as are [wife] Wendy’s and mine, as we contemplate those ruthless killings in Florida last week,” Nelson said. “I think of Alaina Petty, a 14-year-old Latter-day Saint whose life was snuffed out by that sniper’s bullet. It’s natural for you and others to say: How could God allow things like that to happen? Well, God allows us to have our agency, and men have passed laws that allow guns to go to people who shouldn’t have them.

But the church has taken no public position on current gun control legislation — nor did Nelson’s recent comments spell out a specific stance.. “... This seems to me consistent with that: a statement of moral sentiment rather disconnected from specific policy.”On Jan. 26, they issued a major statement encouraging Congress to move quickly to protect from deportation hundreds of thousands of “Dreamers,” whose undocumented parents brought them to the United States as children.

Don’t fold to the media. The cops didn’t rush in because they were cowards. The shooter was a coward. This isn’t a gun problem. It’s a problem with evil and cowards. The guns are innocent

Use your influence to get Mike Lee onboard with gun regulation or do nothing and wait till it happens in Utah.. Your choice.

And yet, this time, all they did was sending thoughts and prayers

Yet the LDS Church supports the GOP while they do everything in there power to allow this to happen. Which is it sir. You are a hypocrite.

There are 4 of these 'Get Some' gun stores in the Salt Lake City area. The name 'Get Some' comes from a scene in the movie 'Full Metal Jacket' where a helicopter pilot is shouting 'Get Some' while bragging about shooting fleeing women and children.

The whackos wouldn't listen when he told them to mask up, and they sure as hell won't listen to him on guns. They're orgasmic over the thought of mowing someone down with an AR-15.

Unfortunately, the Utah legislature has moved from being controlled by the church, which isn't good, to being controlled by the NRA and their extremist state party leadership

Beth Moore, famed evangelist who left Southern Baptist church, on sex abuse report: ‘You have betrayed your women’Moore, perhaps the best-known evangelical woman in the world, had drawn the ire of some SBC conservatives for speaking out against Donald Trump and suggesting the denomination had problems with sexism. Maybe this should be a lesson to republicans to maybe look at their own ranks a little before assuming pedophiles only exist in another political party. Good article! Finally someone has strength to speak the truth.
