Jesus lived in an era considerably more savage and bloodthirsty than ours. That whole “eye for an eye” thing was considered a step up from “I’m gonna waste you and your whole damn village for putting out my eye.”
Jesus said “put your [gun] back into its place. For all who take the [gun] will perish by the [gun]. Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then should the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so?”
He shall judge between the nations, and shall decide disputes for many peoples; and they shall beat their [assault riffles] into plowshares, and their [handguns] into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up [weapons] against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.
If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.
Good luck finding a real Christian anywhere. None other than Mark Twain had the main character in his work “No. 44, The Mysterious Stranger,” say that he couldn’t be a Christian, as he would be too lonely, as he “would be the only one.”

An American Jesus would have been packing.

“Would Jesus Have Owned a Gun? Joe Walsh Sure Thinks So!”
“The former U.S. congressman also thinks Jesus would have been a capitalist who hated safe spaces.”

Under the law, fetuses are not constitutionally recognized as fully-righted human beings.
We await the return of your god to unilaterally amend the U.S. Constitution. That’ll teach ’em.
