text: How do you separate the sacred and the secular?  How can you put "American citizen" in one box and "Christian" in the other?  Aren't you a Christian every minute of the day, every breath of your life?  Doesn't "Christian" trump "American citizen"? I'm sure you wouldn't say that an American citizen has the right to an abortion and keep this issue separate from the Christian teaching on the topic.
  I disagree with your statement that nothing prevents a firearm owner from identifying with the powerless.  A gun is a form of power, so the gun prevents its owner from identifying with the powerless.
  The Bible doesn't provide any definitive pronouncement either way on firearms.  I never said it did, I only said it did not explicitly prohibit gun control.  I would rethink your decision on the KJV.  It was commissioned by King James with emphasis on translations favoring loyalty to a king.  Hardly seems fitting for an American gun advocate to favor the translation of a British tyrant.
