Firearms frequent for flock

An article in the New York Times is particularly interesting to me. If only because it has the phrase "God, Guns, Gospel and Geometry" in the first paragraph, a feat I have been trying to attain as a writer for quite some time. Anyway...

The article is describing a Kentucky church which is celebrating the United State's Constitution's Second Amendment, or the right of the people to keep and bear arms. They're showing their celebration with sermons, events, and even a bring-your-gun-to-church day.

This is an emblematic piece for what is happening all over the country. NRA membership is up since November, people are buying more guns and there is a general fear that the Obama admnistration will stick the hounds on their guns, and confiscate or severly limit them.

I don't see any reason why these people are so concerned. The Obama administration has not made any moves toward gun control issues. Neither has the democrat controlled congress made any moves toward harsher moves regarding guns. The public response is to a fear that he may at some point begin to crack down on guns. But I don't see that happening.

I am keeping a lookout though, but considering I don't own any guns I don't know why I'm on watch.
