JEMISON, AL – What started out as an overgrown gully behind the Rocky Mount United Methodist Church has turned into a ministry, complete with guns, bullets and the Bible.
Pastor Phillip Guin says the gully, once full of kudzu, snakes and other vermin, had been there since before he arrived at the church. Much of the dirt used as fill was from a recent expansion.
When brainstorming about what to do with the area, the idea of a gun range came up.
“We had quite a number of church members, some elderly ladies, for example, and some not so elderly women that had purchased guns, but didn’t know how to use them,†Guin said.
Originally, the range was used to teach firearm safety. But about a year ago, that changed. The thought of a ministry started becoming more and more clear.
Guin says there are many in the congregation who either hunt or are gun enthusiasts. The safety training morphed into the Rocky Mount Hunt and Gun Club as a way to try and bring more members to the church.
And it’s killing the leftosphere that the range is tax exempt.
Leftists comparing this church to the Branch Davidians in 4…3…2…
Silly question: if churches are tax-exempt, and the church wants to buy a full-auto or a few silencers, would they still have to pay for the ATF tax stamps?
WWJS? What Would Jesus Shoot? Tavor, Uzi, Desert Eagle, Galil? I think he might want to avoid nail guns.
Gives a whole new emphasis to the old phrase Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.
Can we have an AMEN, brother!
