I assumed, just amused at how much differently it reads as edited. Also, alli reading it right that they were giving out gun locks at a buyback? The people there just literally sold them the absolute cheapest guns for gift cards and they think there’s more guns at home?
“ Other country agencies were also at the event to provide other services. The district attorney’s office distributed gun — which are crucial for safe gun storage”
This is probably a bad editing job, but I do enjoy the idea of the DA distributing guns because they’re necessary for safe gun storage. It’s technically correct, the best kind of correct.
Have you read the Old Testament? The deity in that book is not what I’d consider benevolent. He’s also really insecure, requiring that his followers only worship him, which doesn’t at all sound like an abusive partner separating a person from their familial relationships to isolate them.
Heck, in the New Testament he (because somehow a sky deity has a penis) sent his son to be killed horrifically, and because he is both omnipotent and omniscient, he knew exactly what to do to stop said horrific death at the hands of the Romans.
