God, Guns and Santorum

God gave us the right to own guns, says Rick Santorum:

Rick Santorum on Friday told the National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action that Americans’ rights – like the right to bear arms – “come from God, because you are a creation of a loving God, and you have dignity because of that.”

The former Republican presidential candidate, speaking at an annual NRA-ILA leadership forum conference, contrasted the United States with countries in Europe, which he said have a “secular, dying culture” with few rights. Santorum also referenced the French Revolution as a “godless” revolution, in contrast to the American Revolution, which was apparently approved by God. In other words, “God is on our side.”

Former senator Santorum said President Barack Obama’s administration seeks to fundamentally change the United States by removing the influence of Christianity in the military and in public schools. Obama was re-elected by a “small minority” that “infiltrate elite institutions,” Santorum said, encouraging NRA members to “fight back” against legislative changes initiated by the White House.

Yes, God and the Constitution are all about the right to buy products. Speaking of which, I wonder which gun would’ve been Jesus’ favorite?
