Lets see, whats the ammo cost? $3 a round? She could have fed a lot of hungry people with what she wasted taking target practice for the camera. Isn’t that what Christians are supposed to do? ha.

Now by that standard, you will condemn all Christians. Even the best of them spend something on themselves, and not just enough to buy one hair shirt and a mud hut.

Christian charity in America adds up to serious money. How many of us who are not that observant and could fairly be called secularized, contribute 10 percent of our income to charity? Or 5 percent? Frivolous use of five or ten percent of our income on vacations, fine dining, or a blast at the firing range doesn’t give us any guilt trip, and we aren’t even tithing before treating ourselves.

There are real grounds to be opposed to this woman’s ad and her campaign. She’s in some way tied to Scientology. That’s enough right there. But then what about the ad itself? Without reading anything into it, there’s nothing at all in it, not really. She’s cute and she can pull the trigger. Since there’s no target, we don’t have to worry whether she’s hitting or missing, and likewise, she doesn’t advance any cause that if elected she’ll work toward.

She’s running, so it would seem, on the grounds that hey I’m kinda cute and it’s fun to run, so why not? This is no way to pick a Congress.

But she’s not starving children by shooting that campaign commercial, and she’s not shooting Mexicans, and she’s not advocating either.
