Perhaps the Catholic Church should refuse communion to assault weapon owners.

The only purpose of an assault style weapon is to kill people. So giving solace, aid and comfort, and communion to people who own these weapons seems hypocritical at best. What’s the difference, in the churches mind, between an abortionist and an assault weapon owner. They both intend killing….according church orthodoxy.

If Nancy Pelosi can be refused communion because she supports womens rights, then the very least the Catholic Church can do is refuse communion to those whose clear intent is to kill other people.

An assault style weapon constitutes clear intent.

Everybody's being so moral with their anti-wedding cake bakeries, and anti-same sex marriage rhetoric, yet no one targets what are essentially WMDs.

Who needs an assault rifle for self defense?
The NRA is clearly doing the devils work.
When will the evangelicals realize that?

Not that I care; I am an atheist.

This like having doctors ask about guns to try and get doctors to snitch on people. The owners will just lie and say they don’t own any guns.
