"Why would carrying in church especially be a problem?" Starboard Tack Feb 2012 #20

You're not hearing me. discntnt_irny_srcsm Feb 2012 #36

"Are the majority of churches against all forms of violence?" Starboard Tack Feb 2012 #58

I'm a bit puzzled. discntnt_irny_srcsm Feb 2012 #59

No, it pays people to keep them out. Starboard Tack Feb 2012 #65

How will they do that, if not armed themselves? Callisto32 Feb 2012 #117

You are showing either an inability, or a failure... Callisto32 Feb 2012 #116

I am suffering from an inability to understand what you are trying to say. Starboard Tack Feb 2012 #128

Why would anyone need to carry a loaded gun to church? Oh, I forgot. It is their 'right'. appleannie1 Feb 2012 #5

Um, Dr Tiller. The church members when the freak wanted to kill all the liberals. WingDinger Feb 2012 #14

Actually the christian right is all about guns -- they love them and are the base of "gun culture." Hoyt Feb 2012 #30

The "gun culture" isn't responsible here, only one Moises Zembrana. friendly_iconoclast Feb 2012 #42

Like said, gun culture will take no responsibility. Kind of like oil companies. Hoyt Feb 2012 #46

That's God, Guns, and Guts...no one got shot at my church today. ileus Feb 2012 #9

That's because the Lord was watching over your church Starboard Tack Feb 2012 #12

Could you please get us a list of which churches the Lord watches over? It will save a lot of troub Skwid Feb 2012 #21

You'll have to ask someone with better connections then me. Starboard Tack Feb 2012 #24

Or, as Bill Maher says: "They believe in talking snakes." Is that who we want carrying guns? Hoyt Feb 2012 #32

The only people I "want" carrying guns are those who aren't felons or crazy and who can pass Skwid Feb 2012 #38

Any word on Hannah Kelley? Another carrier WITH A PERMIT messes up, may cost someone their life. Hoyt Feb 2012 #17

So you're saying religious people shouldn't be allowed to own firearms? ileus Feb 2012 #35

Not just religious people. Although I'm more concerned about carrying. Hoyt Feb 2012 #50

No news on her condition, but the carrier had MORE than a permit JustABozoOnThisBus Feb 2012 #76

Church is the *perfect* place to show off your gun Simo 1939_1940 Feb 2012 #63

So you generally go into a small neighboring room to show off your gun? n/t ellisonz Feb 2012 #64

One would generally not do it in a room full of people. AtheistCrusader Feb 2012 #83

I agree Union Scribe Feb 2012 #73
