God (prove "his" existence first) doesn't give rights to bear arms. By the same token "he" must also give some people the right to kill other people. This use of the term God is a misnomer.

Ah but using God in the statement seems to suggest (to them at any rate) that their argument is (more) legitimate.
 
I drove behind a pick-up truck (obviously) loaded with bumper stickers about the NRA and guns. One was the American flag in the shape of a gun which was disturbing. Is that really a source of pride? So much so that you wasted $5.00 or so to plaster it on your vehicle to let everyone know you love America and guns? All of the other ones just said stupid crap such as, "I'm the NRA and I vote" and "Does not matter who's president; god is king." I fear for this country.

UPPER DEERFIELD TWP. — Gerald Sykes and his wife were asleep late Friday night at their Cumberland County home when their dog began barking. Sykes' wife woke him up and he went into the living room. At that point, according to longtime family friend and attorney Rich Kaser, Sykes looked out through the French doors leading to a deck where he saw the shadow of a person outside. Kaser said Sykes went back into his bedroom and got his shotgun. Sykes "felt intruders were trying to get in and he was yelling to his wife to call 911," Kaser said.

What happened next is subject of investigation. Authorities say two state troopers had come to the home after mistakenly being told it was the location of a 911 hang-up call. According to authorities, shots were exchanged. One trooper fired four times and Sykes fired his shotgun once. Authorities have not said who fired first. However, Kaser says the Sykes family told him police fired first from outside the home as Sykes, 76, stood in the living room.

Sykes was hit three times, his attorney says, and then he fired off one shotgun blast that went through one of the doors to the outside.
