"The Saint Gabriel Possenti Society was a U.S. organization promoting the public recognition of Gabriel and lobbying for his designation by the Vatican as the "patron saint of hand gunners". The society was founded by gun lobbyist John M. Snyder, who began his effort in 1987.[16]
According to the society, Gabriel's marksmanship and proficiency with handguns allegedly saved the village of Isola del Gran Sasso in 1860. This urban legend says that he scared away a band of 20 Garibaldi Red Shirts after shooting a lizard at a distance. Gabriel was reported to be in the later stages of tuberculosis at the time.[17][a]"

Thanks for this thread. I never knew I had a name day. I was named for the shortened version of my aunt's name, but we were marginally raised Methodist, and they don't really get into the saints, as far as I know, so it never even occurred to me to look to see if the long version of my name was a saint. Hmmmmmmmmmm...........
As I prepare to receive the Sacraments of the Catholic church, of course I'm learning a lot about the saint I'm taking as my Patroness.

Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin believed the exact same thing.Organized religion is for the weak minded.
