    a Time of Giving

    It is the charitable season once again, and I was reminded of this today while being driven through Des Moines.


    It never seems to fail, to spark that fire of generosity in my heart whenever I see a shivering, hungry face. Only one thing goes through my mind.

    "That guy is gonna start breaking into houses soon!"

    Now burglary is bad enough, so you can imagine how traumatic is must be for the blind. This is why I donate one or more weapons to Firearms For the Blind every year around this time.


    I feel so passionately about this cause that when I decided to purchase a second home in Freehold last year, I immediately contacted Iowa's Republican representatives and urged them to grant concealed handgun permits to visually impaired Iowan residents. You can imagine the pride I felt when in September of last year such a law was passed.

    I urge you all to give to this noble charity. Any and all donations are welcome, be it a shiny new H&K 91 or a single shot .22, no working firearm will be turned down. You will have a warm sense of self-satisfaction and a beautiful feeling of peace in knowing that you have done your part in keeping a home and street a little safer. Arming the blind puts firearms into the hands of an untapped demographic while showing the community what Christian charity and compassion really are.

    Isn't it time you show how much you care?
    Psalm 137:9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

    Re: a Time of Giving

    Procrastination is the work of the Devil. A person like that sleeping the day away needs to be given employment and have God exposed to him. If you can tell me where that picture was taken, I'll swing by and give that man a job at the Plantation. We play "The Spoken Word' over the PA, 24/7 so these miscreants learn the Bible and the Love God has for them, even if they are undeserving.
    Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
    Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
    Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
    Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
    Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
    Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

      Re: a Time of Giving

      Does Firearms For The Blind take used guns for donations, or do they have to be new? I'm asking because the kids are getting new guns for the CHRISTmas holiday, both for hunting and personal/civic protection.
      Hello, my name is Mary. I hope to fellowship with you! That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.

        They absolutely take used firearms. Just last week a gentleman dropped off a dozen Vietnam war era SKS's that were dropped in the jungle by dying Commie gooks.

          Re: a Time of Giving

          Our congregation would like to participate by donating a dozen 12 gauge shotguns that were formerly used by our security ministry. The barrels have been shortened to allow a greater spread. I believe this will make these shotguns an ideal defense weapon for the visually impaired. Sightlessness has been shown to reduce accuracy and the greater spread will improve performance.

            May God smile down upon you, Brother Moss. This must be the most considerate donation we've seen all year. Never let it be said that True Christians™ do not think of the needs of others.

              My husband is happy to donate 50 used Ray Winchester Hunting Rifle Model 94 rifles. They are not fancy, but my husband is obedient of Matthew 7:6 "Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you."

                What a wonderful donation! I encourage the blind recipients to make dual use of the rifles by painting them white and using them as canes as well. Visually impaired? More like visually lethal!

                  Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day...but teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. That is why I will donate detailed instructions, in braille, on how to construct an improvised large-caliber handgun using little more than a steel pipe, a rubber band and a finishing nail.

                    Much appreciated. No reason a little thing like lack of vision should stop them from enjoying the experience of making their very first Zip gun.

                      That's really wonderful, Brother Witch Hammer! Brother Des, as normal, you have a wonderful suggestion. Would you like me to paint them white for you?

                        You know, I thought about that. Are they really going to know the difference?

                              Brother Des, it is very soon time for my husband to call me to read to him tonight, so can I have my Nigress housekeeper do it for you? I promise if she messes any up, she will be buying more, so you will get 50 meticulous guns.
