I am against seperation of church and state. Vatican city has less shootings than america. They are obviously doing something right.

Vatican City has pretty worrying number of child molesters per capita.

I could give you the vatican or some shitty evangelical newsletter, but im trying to find a source you would consider credible as a courtesy.

It's been well known for quite a while now that their approach to dealing with it is to keep everything as quiet as possible to protect the reputation and public image of the church. So maybe it would be a bad idea to try and emulate the Catholic Church. They're actually pretty bad people.

The Vatican calling for US pro-lifers to push for gun control.

I say we take all the automatic guns. But leave shotguns hunting rifles and pistols. The deer arnt wearing kevlar vests and your ar-15 wont do much against the USS Nimitz, Predator Drones, F-18s and Apache helicopters.

"America would be better off with more catholic influence'" We finally agree on something and protestant influence, I guess we disagree again.

There's only about 182,000 automatic guns legally owned by civilians in the United States and its been something like 70 years since one was used in a crime. Bit of an odd agenda you have here.

You don't get to say that you want more Catholic influence without having to deal with the reality of what that actually means. Children abused, their abusers protected, leading to more children being abused.

Ironically, people are fine with pistol/revolvers even though pistols/revolvers are used in the vast majority of violent crime.

Like, I wouldn't agree to banning pistols or revolvers either, but if there ever was a target to go after, pistols and revolvers would be the logical first choice.
Venicilian: wow. Jesus hung around with everyone. boys, girls, rich, poor(mostly), sick, healthy, etc. in fact, i bet he even went up to gay people and tried to heal them so they would be straight.

New Kereptica: Since power is changed energy over time, an increase in power would mean, in this case, an increase in energy. As energy is equivalent to mass and the density of the government is static, the volume of the government must increase.

People get upset if you call semi-automatic rifles automatic rifles despite them being automatic rifles.
