    Team Washington | Editor

    A Kentucky gun-toting pastor who made headlines earlier in '09 for hostin a "God and Guns" event at his church stepped down from the pulpit to go after more political pursuits.

    According to FOXNews.com, Ken Pagano told the Washington times that "thirty years was a good, long run, but it's time for a change," he said. "If I can write my own ticket, I want to get involved more in Second Amendment issues as they affect the church, and I can do more from outside the pulpit than from behind it."

    That leads us to our question of the day. Do you think that there is ever a place for politics inside the church? Let us know your thoughts by clicking "leave a comment" below!
