I’m surprised at how infrequently I really stop to think
about it, but in one way I am living a life of uneasy tension as a gun-promoting,
gun-toting, card-carrying NRA member who is simultaneously a committed follower
of Jesus Christ. The Sandy Hook shooting
has shown me how easily I can compartmentalize my thoughts when it comes to certain
subjects. On the one hand, I’m an ardent defender of the Second Amendment to the point of including the availability of one-hundred
shot magazines and Bushmaster assault rifles.
On the other hand, I’m basically a practical personal pacifist with a strong desire to avoid physical confrontations.
