Doss, a U.S. Army corporal and combat medic who earned the Congressional Medal of Honor during WWII.<\/p>\n<p>Doss was a conscientious objector to the war due to his faith as a Seventh-day Adventist. He refused to carry a firearm or kill an enemy soldier. Nevertheless, Doss served heroically, transporting 75 wounded men to safety, one-by-one, during the Battle of Okinawa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;I don\u2019t know what the answer to that is\u2026,\u201d explained Gibson. \u201cIt\u2019s going to take someone smarter than me to figure that out.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":65397,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[244,7,216,240],"tags":[132,335,607],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-65396","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-2nd-amendment-r2kba","8":"category-gunsamerica-authors","9":"category-s-h-blannelberry","10":"category-this-week","11":"tag-buzz","12":"tag-military","13":"tag-news"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Mel Gibson Addresses Guns in America: \u2018It\u2019s Out of Balance at the Moment\u2019<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"&quot;I don\u2019t know what the answer to that is\u2026,\u201d explained Gibson. \u201cIt\u2019s going to take someone smarter than me to figure that out.\u201d\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/mel-gibson-addresses-guns-america-balance-moment\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Mel Gibson Addresses Guns in America: \u2018It\u2019s Out of Balance at the Moment\u2019\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"&quot;I don\u2019t know what the answer to that is\u2026,\u201d explained Gibson. \u201cIt\u2019s going to take someone smarter than me to figure that out.\u201d\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/mel-gibson-addresses-guns-america-balance-moment\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-10-27T15:21:23+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-20T09:32:50+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Gibsonjpg.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"725\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"485\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
