In his remarks, President Jerry Falwell Jr., son of the late religious right leader Jerry Falwell Sr., pressed students at the Christian school in Lynchburg, Va., to carry weapons on campus following Wednesdays mass shooting in San Bernardino, Calif.
It just blows my mind that the president of the United States [says] that the answer to circumstances like that is more gun control, he said to applause.
If some of those people in that community center had what I have in my back pocket right now , he said while being interrupted by louder cheers and clapping. Is it illegal to pull it out? I dont know, he said, chuckling.

Who exactly are these "good people" worthy of judging who should live an who should die? There sure are a lot of people out there with God complexes.
