Mississippi: Wallowing in guns and hatred since always.

BOGER: Here, the guns-in-church bill is much less popular with the predominantly black congregation. Pastor Lorenzo Neal has spoken against the measure on several occasions. He says bringing guns into the sanctuary will not make anyone safer.

wow! yet another reason not to go to church!
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Gov. Phil Bryant has signed into law a bill
that allows some members of churches to undergo firearms training so
they can provide armed security for their congregations.
The Church Protection Act specifies that those designated can carry

Mathew 26:52…

Amazing how a black church is victimized by an out and out racist…and the white churches claim to feel threatened.
Jesus loves you.
Damn, just when you think they can’t race any closer to the bottom…
Well of course he did. Everyone knows Jesus packed a Glock.
Cold hearts pack heat to warm pews. Film at 11.
well you can blame this guy for that…
these guys too
Wrong! It was a Colt 45 Peacemaker. Repent, you heretic!
Maybe the Good Guy with a Gun will show up now that he has a place to worship.
Will churches be allowed to ban guns from their property on an individual basis?
Its pretty bad when you lose the Sheriffs. In Mississippi.
