And the idea that any theological argument can be proposed to support the notion that Jesus would encourage firearms in a temple of God is rather absurd.

I guess church is generally assumed to be a gun free zone, so again, it is a great place for these cowards to perpetrate thier violence.
Gun Free Zones = Great place for mass shootings.

I would bet there are plenty of guns in trucks outside the churches already. In rural areas, it's not that unusual for guys to hunt on Sun. mornings before church.
Heck I went to an upscale private school in Memphis in the 90s, and there were lots of gun racks in cars and trucks. Boys would spend the weekend at their family's private hunting cabin, and then drive to school on Monday mornings with their guns still in their cars. There was zero violence at my high school.
If I saw people in the parking lot of my upscale suburban church, it would be a little strange. But if I saw it at a church in my husband's rural hometown, I wouldn't think a thing about it. It would most likely be one hunter showing another some new gun he bought. Just because you are scared of guns, doesn't mean everyone is.

I predict an increase in church shootings. More guns just about always mean more gun crime.
