A Christian School Is Arming Teachers to Thwart Mass Shooters - Here's Why Other Schools Should Follow
America’s Founding Fathers saw no conflict between their Christian faith and gun ownership, especially for use in self-defense and even against a potential tyrannical government.

In contrast, so many modern Christian leaders, especially those with national platforms, come down on the side of comprehensive gun control laws. Such a view is understandable given the weight of their calling and a focus fixed so firmly on peace and the heavenly life.
But at no time does such a view seem more impractical or dismissive of our present earthly reality than following the tragedy of a school shooting. That’s when they take to the airwaves or social media to reissue the standard calls for stricter gun control measures because, as they see it, that’s what Jesus would do.
