What if a church doesn't want to allow guns, does this mean parishoners can overide the church's wishes??

The question i have for you religious folks is: What would Jesus do?

I appreciate the fact that I know that there are gun carriers at Mass on Sunday.

I also appreciate the fact that there are quite a few people who carry guns at the office, too!

I would.

If I were to belong to that church, I would A) Leave, or B) carry.

"Gun free zones" are deadly places.

George Washington: Born Feb 22, 1732. Died: Dec.14, 1799.

Jesus: Born sometime between 6 BCE and 4 AD a couple of days after the winter solstice.

Died on the first Sunday following the first full moon after the spring equinox.

Why not? Hell, the church began it's history in the Americas by killing people...may as well have guns in the church. The symbolism is perfect. Actually they should place gold plated guns in cases and display them like trophys right next to the other religious symbols.

Jesus said:

Luke 22:36 And if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one
