Worshippers clutching AR-15 rifles hold commitment ceremony

NEWFOUNDLAND, Pa. — Feb 28, 2018, 5:59 PM ET



Crown-wearing worshippers clutching AR-15 rifles drank holy wine and exchanged or renewed wedding vows in a commitment ceremony at a Pennsylvania church on Wednesday, prompting a nearby school to cancel classes.

With state police and a smattering of protesters standing watch outside the church, brides clad in white and grooms in dark suits brought dozens of unloaded AR-15s into World Peace and Unification Sanctuary for a religious event that doubled as an advertisement for the Second Amendment.

The church, which has a worldwide following, believes the AR-15 symbolizes the "rod of iron" in the book of Revelation, and encouraged couples to bring the weapons. An AR-15 was used in the Florida high school massacre on Feb. 14.

The Rev. Sean Moon, who leads the church, prayed for "a kingdom of peace police and peace militia where the citizens, through the right given to them by almighty God to keep and bear arms, will be able to protect one another and protect human flourishing."

Moon is the son of the late Rev. Sun Myung Moon, a self-proclaimed messiah who founded the Unification Church, which critics regard as a cult. The younger Moon's congregation is a breakaway faction of the Unification Church, which had distanced itself from Wednesday's event.

5. A lot of these people exist throughout the country and I would laugh at them if I hadn't been

a friend with one for a long time. She is married to a neo Nazi now. She grew up near Scranton, PA and this is real. Her family was (and most likely still is) like this. Here are two articles that explains how they "think".

8. An easy way to disarm these nuts would be to require psych exams before

any gun purchase, along with a requirement to renew the exam every 2 to 5 years. Those people would not pass, IMHO. They keep shouting about mental health. Well let's go that route. Let's make them prove they're mentally
fit before buying a gun.
