For the Avalon spouter, I am quite sure that Jesus would not belong to the NRA. But I do know that he is attributed with a puzzling remark in Luke 22, "Then said he to them, But now, he that has a purse, let him take it, and likewise his money: and he that has no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one." The bloodiest wars in history were fought in Jesus' name. I don't think he would have any problem with law-abiding citizens owning firearms. Send the gun criminals to jail for mandatory sentences without plea bargains. Teach children morality and the Ten Commandments.
