If you’ve never heard of Grant Stern, boy, are you missing out. The Miami-based mortgage broker, Bloomberg Network radio host, and columnist for HuffPost and Occupy Democrats, served up this super-brilliant gun control take in response to the deadly mass shooting in Las Vegas:
The Second Amendment doesn't trump the First Commandment.
We need #GunControlNow to prevent the next Las Vegas or Sandy Hook.

C'mon man. At least look up the order of the commandments.

First Commandment: Thou shalt have no other gods before me https://t.co/UmoSUjAVZ7

How is the 2nd Amdt in conflict with "You shall have no other gods before Me"?
— Chris Field (@ChrisMField) October 2, 2017
Thou shalt have no other gods before me? Read the Ten Commandments before tweeting about them.

OK. Now that that’s all cleared up, can we just talk about how stupid Stern’s tweet is?
What does this even mean?

This is some Roy Moore-level stuff. #theocracy https://t.co/Nal5qyBRXz

Which would be relevant if:
1) The original Hebrew wasn’t a word closer to “murder” and
2) We lived in a Christian theocracy. https://t.co/0myObQrCdu— Derf (@fredontwittur) October 2, 2017
Ah yes, a religious theocracy just like those peaceful Middle Eastern countries.

You want a theocracy?

Well, Grant? Do you?
When you're trying to talk about guns and the Old Testament but are unfamiliar with both. https://t.co/aj4EnM9gvL

Biblical illiteracy & gun law ignorance in 1 tweet! It's like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup only made of fail instead of deliciousness.

A parting piece of advice for him:
if you don't know what the Bible says you probably shouldn't try to use it for your argument.
