I'm pretty confident that though Jesus never owned a weapon himself (at least, I don't think he did), he didn't have a problem with HAVING them, more so with their usage especially if using them was as a show of force or to coerce or hurt others.
I imagine Jesus had a knife for filleting fish and stuff.
Oooops!

Again, you are living in your own imagination instead of reality.
There has not been a single case of a state official refusing to issue gun permits based on religious beliefs.

To me, it is inspiring, as it shows you can find beauty anywhere.
It's all about perspective.

The irony is the earliest Christian settlers came to the New World to get away from other Christians and their Christian values.

I wonder if there's an analysis/evidence that those function any better than our House or Senate? I think many of those have the same, or worse, issues of "legal corruption".
