Franklin Graham: If Only Those NY Jews Had Guns

“Do guns save lives? We have evil in the world and evil will use a machete, a gun, a knife, a bomb—or whatever it can. Over the weekend we saw a stabbing incident at a Hanukkah celebration at the home of a Jewish Rabbi in New York where five people were viciously hacked by a big strong man with a machete.

“And then within a few hours, there was a shooting at a church in Texas and two parishioners were killed. Within just six seconds the gunman was shot dead because people in the congregation were legally armed and prepared to protect themselves. There’s no telling how many more lives would have been lost if they had not stopped this gunman in his tracks.

“In New York they have so many gun laws that it makes it difficult for a law abiding citizen to carry a weapon. The attack in New York might have ended with less injuries if someone in the Rabbi’s home had been armed.

“More laws and more restrictions will not bring an end to violence and murders—the problem is not guns and machetes, the problem is evil in the human heart.” – Franklin Graham, posting to his Facebook page.
