Synonymous with "Ignorance and Fear".
People who rely on religion rather than thinking for themselves are fine, I understand not everyone is cut out to take that responsibility for the big scary world out there.
Then people who feel the need to have guns to "protect themselves" just seem to me to be more scared than anything. I've thought about getting a gun a fair bit, and it's always related to fear of others having control over me and me having no power to do anything about it; so a gun is a form of at the very least an imagined sense of power and control. But so far I've lived without a gun (other than a.22 LR I used to shoot for fun on my dad's ranch) and managed not to be severely hurt or controlled by anyone.
A friend of mine once noted that a lot of rap music focuses on "having respect" and demanding that others respect them, and being upset about being disrespected. That carrying guns and flashing them, dressing to look scary, tattoos and piercings, etc. What they are really saying isn't "respect me", it's "fear me". Which is because they themselves are afraid and insecure. Having a gun "for protection" is a way of trying to chase away or manage that fear. Somewhat ironically, having a religion that gives you answers to scary questions like "what happens when we die?" is another way of dealing with fear of death, or the unknown, for example. Most people don't have the emotional or mental fortitude to deal with these fears without outside help from things like God or guns.

Just like artillery shells during WWII would have "To Adolph" written on them, people inscribe "With God's vengeance" on them. Some just say, "Kill them all and let God sort them out".
Makes me wonder, if you have god on your side, what do you need a gun for? Is his not capable of protecting his followers?

With God and Gun phrase is derived from 2 places and evolve around Righteousnes💥
-The first being Bible and concept of Righteous War upon breaking YHWH/Israel Covenant Contract. When one violates contract then one is at odds with other Party and there will be LEGITIMATE Consequences from righteous struggle💥
-From Bible came Terms of Engagement in Warfare: War Criminal (Putin) violations are Cause for Righteous War or response💥
With GOD (righteous blessing) & GUN I will sustain and end the unrighteous behaviors that Hitler or Putin are committing. In essence any violation of our Constitution’s Bill of Rights, is Cause for Righteous Act to correct Unrighteousness. The Bill of Rights themselves, according to the Founders, are grounded upon the Bible and the 10 Commandments.-The Righteous Law of God, Almighty ‼️Hypocrisy. I suppose it might be different in parts of the world where other religions predominate (I think that referring to Yahweh as "God" was thought up by the same people who decided to call the moon "Moon"), but there's no reasonable way a follower of Jesus "Blessed are the peacemakers"/"No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends" Christ is going to be gung-ho for violence.
At least in the United States, both men and women have the right to bear arms provided they can demonstrate the mental capacity to make good choices. When you need to weapon eyes a religion to justify initiating the use of force against another person or people, you have crossed the line into no longer being a religion.

I don't know but those are the two things I put my trust on, on God and my gun, I know at the right time, God is going to guide my bullets if I ever gotta use it.
I think the general idea is it’s two things they love that can’t be taken away
I I've never seen a side like that before or even heard about it before but it does make you think of many things
I instantly see them as one of those conservative Americans that live in like Texas or Alabama. That sounds like something they might say.
The only one who can watch over you in the end is yourself and the man upstairs
It usually is a redneck way of saying "by any means, with any excuse"
Every gun toting Republican who's been saying "they're trying to take my guns away" for the past 100 years in the united states, when it is never going to happen.
I have never heard that phrase before. I have no idea what that means.
An idiot that probably wants to storm the US capitol because they think they are oppressed and can overthrow a government with hella more resources. Not the brightest of dudes really.
What comes to my mind is the WWI song "praise the lord and pass the ammunition".
Someone believes in "God" and the "Right to Bear Arms" a true American...
Redneck Christian Republican vibes. I've never heard a Democrat or an independent say that.
A religious person who wants to kill people who "sinned".
Would definitely get my attention until I got the real meaning of it!
i like how it freaks out the people who spend 24/7 hating on conservatives though, since both of those words give them nightmares. 🤣
Some kind of pep talk for soldiers maybe?
