Yesterday I had the honor of delivering the blessing at the 1 year anniversary party of Gun For Hire's Range in Woodland Park., NJ. Below is the text of my message:
As we gather here today, on the first anniversary of the opening of Gun For Hire’s Woodland Park Range, let us reflect on these words from the men who founded this country:
"A free people ought to be armed."- George Washington
"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms."- Thomas Jefferson
"Arms in the hands of citizens may be used at individual discretion in private self defense."- John Adams
"The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the best and most natural defense of a free country."- James Madison
"To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them."- Richard Henry Lee
Let us dedicate Woodland Park Range as a place where all people can come to train and fulfill the noble principles our Founding Fathers established for us.
Bless all those who will use this building, either as students or instructors, so that we may defend liberty and fight tyranny.
May our barrels be straight, our triggers swift, and our aim accurate.
And remember, God gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers.
Amen.
