I don't support the faith with a Gun. I support it with the Cross. People like guns because it's guarenteed by the constitution, and they want to know that they can have the right to "keep and bare arms".

No. Because Americans are overly paranoid about everything in the world. There are Americans trying to ban recess because they think it's a waste of time and that it is keeping kids from "valuable education time" in schools. There are many schools in the USA banning junk food machines and soda machines and the selling of junk food in schools because they want the kids to eat the "healthy" food in the school lunches so the kids don't become obese. Americans are very protective of their land and think they should shoot to kill first and then ask questions when the person is dead or dying. Not all of them are like this but the majority are.

Gun ownership is mainly popular because our government, culture and media promote fear. When people are afraid, they turn to guns as a way to defend their homes to feel secure.
However, many peole enjoy rifles and shotguns for sport hunting as well, and should not be confused with those who are fearful.

You don't own a gun to protect or support your faith, you own a gun to protect yourself and your family from all of the crazy people out there who mostly don't have any faith, let alone Christian faith.

Did I miss a census report? Did we determine that all Christians own guns, and nobody else does? If not...
Is it necessary for girls to pee standing up? If not, then why is peeing standing up as common as being a girl?

Necessity has nothing to do with the fastidious, ridiculous beliefs of the Christian Right in the United States.
It's all about what mammy and pappy believe. Doesn't matter if it has any backing whatsoever, in the scriptures of otherwise. People will believe what they are taught to believe.
