What business does the state have banning guns from places of worship? It’s private property. Shouldn’t the owners of a given piece of property be allowed to decide whether or not they will or won’t allows firearms on their own little slice of the American dream? That’s a semi-rhetorical question (Martin). Obviously, the state government feels free to dictate to the public who can own firearms; and where/how/why and when they can carry/store/shoot them. I’m sure some case can be made for why places of worship should be killing fields—I mean, gun-free sanctuaries. A non-congregant could enter a churches, synagogues, Wicca invocations, etc., unknowingly facing the danger of not being killed by a terrorist—I mean, unknowingly facing the internet dangers of an armed assembly of God or Satan-fearing men, women and children. For example, “This would make Pentecostal church service even scarier than they already are. Imagine some guy being overcome with the holy spirit, speaking in tongues with a loaded side arm.” Let’s get to this, shall we?
