Saw that on a bumper sticker today. How do people reconcile the idea that God, or Jesus, would support gun ownership and that being awful to people is okay?

Seems to me like there's only one reason to own a gun- to shoot things. Everything else is about what is being shot and why.

It's like saying there's 100 reasons to own a screwdriver. No there isn't. There's just 100 things you can think of that have screws in them.

It wouldn't work very well what with not being pointy.
