OUR BELIEF IN THIS GREAT COUNTRY
Historically, whenever this new creation (the Christian) has understood God’s instructions and has applied them to all spheres of life, he has gained dominion over his circumstances. He has progressively proven that “whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world” (1 John 5:4). He is not dominated by history; he shapes it according to God’s will.

REFERENCE TO GUN CONTROL
“If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no recourse left but in the exertion of that original right of selfdefense which is paramount to all positive forms of government, and which against the usurpations of the national rulers may be exerted with infinitely better prospect of success than against those of the rulers of an individual State. In a single State, if the persons entrusted with supreme power become usurpers, the different parcels, subdivisions, or districts of which it consists, having no distinct government in each, can take no regular measures for defense. The citizens must rush tumultuously to arms, without concert, without system, without resource; except in their courage and despair.” -- Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 28
