Friends, we've got two cutting-edge interviews back to back today.

You don't want to miss this.

It's time for The Line of Fire with your host, activist, author, international speaker, and theologian, Dr. Michael Brown, your voice of moral, cultural, and spiritual revolution.

Michael Brown is the director of the Coalition of Conscience and President

of Fire School of Ministry. Get into the line of fire now by calling 86634 Truth. That's 86634 Truth.

Here again is Dr. Michael Brown. Our friends, we are going to blanket this entire hour with two eye-opening interviews, two

great guests. You don't want to miss a single moment, but I won't be taking phone calls today

so we can devote all of our time to our guests. This is Michael Brown. Welcome to the line of fire.

One of the great joys that I have is writing columns, normally about five a week. And they're printed on a number of sites, but the key site we always point folks to is stream. Stream.org. And there are on other fine sites as well. And I have the joy there of working with my Catholic colleague, John Smirak. He writes phenomenal articles

pretty much daily for the stream as well, the website found up by James Robeson, to be a stream

of wisdom for the church and the world together. And John's never done this before. He's been on

the show with me. He's a regular guest on Eric Metaxus's show. You've probably seen him, heard him there before. But he reached out to me and

said, I would love to talk about this on the air. A very important subject. The subject of Second

Amendment rights, the right to bear arms, how important is that? How Christian is that?

Is it a special urgency now? So he and Jason Jones wrote a lengthy article. It's really a short paper.

And it's on stream.org. If you just click on John's name, you'll find it. God, guns, and the government, a paper to send

your pastor, why the right to bear arms is a natural cause for Christians. John, welcome to

the line of fire. Thanks for joining us today. I appreciate it. Thank you, Michael. Now, John, you've got a Ph.D. in English

literature from Louisiana State University.

Your scholar in, you know, Renaissance English literature, that kind of thing.

I don't think of you as like a hunter, an outdoorsman, or, you know, somebody's got a gun collection.

How is it that you became so passionate about this issue?
