Thank God for Rep. Matt Shea, who recognizes that in the American system of justice it is God who decides what rights are or are not inalienable. I have not thoroughly reviewed the ancient and sacred texts, but I have no doubt Matt is correct in his knowledge that God meant for modern firearms, especially military assault rifles, to be free from government control.

Matt shows admirable courage, patriotism and leadership, much like ISIS and al-Qaida leaders, in taking his instruction from God, rather than laws passed through the democratic process.
