The Philistines Were For Sword Control

The battle pressed hard against Saul, and the archers found him, and he was badly wounded by the archers. Then Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and mistreat me.” But his armor bearer would not, for he feared greatly. Therefore Saul took his own sword cand fell upon it. And when his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell upon his sword and died with him. - 1 Samuel 31:3-5   This Episode’s Links and Timestamps: 00:24 – 1 Samuel 31 02:29 – Thoughts on the Reading 23:11 - Police discover 115 bodies in 'green' funeral home in Colorado after reports of sickening stench in the area – Collin Jones, The Blaze 41:26 - Storing guns away from home could reduce suicides, but legal hurdles loom – Aaron Bolton KFF Health News, Billings Gazette 55:56 - Kamala Harris is out here endorsing an Australian-style gun ban after the shooting in Maine last night – Edward Teach, NTB 1:11:10 – 2023 Lewistown shootings – Wikipedia 1:19:36 - Nashville Shooter Decried ‘Crackers’ And ‘White Privilege,’ Leaked Manifesto Pages Reveal – Luke Rosiak, DW
