"Reduction in Firearm Injuries during NRA Annual Conventions" - Let's Help Bring Those Numbers Up!
The NRA Convention: The Next Best Thing after a good Landover Baptist Sermon, and only slightly less invigorating than having your wife go through menopause with your own mental sanity and unmentionable body parts unscathed. Looking Good!
Now, things are not looking good. A recent study in a prestigious (but unfathomably ill-named publication), the New England Journal of Medicine, displays this top event of the year in a suspicious light (why the New England Journal of Medicine, I only ask, why not the "Conservative American Journal of Medicine"?). It seems that against all odds, there is LESS gun use during the Conventions than during any other time of the year. We have to accept this shameful piece of news as an ugly FACT.
We'll soon assess why this is not only a dangerous development but also anti-Biblical. Before that, let us look at some more data:
This is the key finding. People who should use guns are not doing that just because they are surrounded by like-minded good Christians. This may seem a prudent thing to do - after all - guns protects us from guns just as Jesus protects us from what He will do to us unless we accept His protection (John 3:18). It is time to assess what Jesus Christ thinks about weaponry!
Luke 22:36
Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
Jesus urges us to buy swords. The gun is the modern sword. It is our duty to obtain them through purchase. However, Jesus also states that buying a gun comes with an unexpected prize.
Matthew 26:52
Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
This may seem contradictory to the uneducated mind of a sinner or a woman. Jesus commands us to buy weapons and then warns against using them. For a Godly True Christian™ man this is simple and plain: 1) Buy guns. 2) Be prepared to be injured. Conclusion: Injuries are just what Jesus expects. The Biblical use of guns includes some inevitable and unfortunate but ultimately Jesus-servicing collateral physical damage. If there were no injuries, worse things might happen and, to say the least, the commands of Jesus would be unfulfilled.
This is the fault of the Democrat Secret Service. For God's Sake! They even banned guns at Trump rallies! No-one is suggesting shooting at people but just regular gun care at the Conventions by a regular NRA member with the skills he has.
Now, I think that while unintended gun discharge can be bad, is it any worse than unintended discharge of Bodily Fliuds into a receptive rectum during gay intercourse?
Yours in Christ,

Dr. Anupam Jena of Harvard Medical School and Andrew Olenski of Columbia University compared firearm injuries during the conventions each year from 2007 through 2015 with injury rates three weeks before and three weeks after each event.
A decline of 63 percent was seen in the states where the conventions were being held, apparently due to large numbers of gun owners being at the events, as well as, in some cases, gun venues such as firing ranges or hunting grounds having closed while their staff attended the convention.
Nationally, there was a 20 percent reduction in firearm injuries during the convention.

"We're saying, 'Here's a brief period of time when people likely to use guns are not using them,'" and the injury rates go down, Jena told Reuters Health by phone.

"I have worked with lifetime members of the NRA who secretly confess that they have unintended discharges of their rifles or shotguns. And this study doesn't account for the unintended discharges that didn't result in injury," he [Dr. Hargarten] told Reuters Health in a telephone interview.
Yours in Christ,
