US's constitution allowing the people has the right to own guns. Did the liberal movement suggested to ban guns?

I don't think there is a "liberal movement", but I do think that many liberals (and some conservatives) would like to see a ban on guns. I think the majority of Americans would favor more strict enforcement of existing gun laws--and possibly even more strict laws.

In any event, I'm not aware that the church particularly advocated a ban on guns. But if you want to know what the church was about, you can look it up here:

The Social Justice link describes programs that some might find too liberal--as if being unitarian in a largely trinitarian nation weren't already liberal enough.

Here's one stereotype I have to kill or at least stick in my two cents. A lot of us Liberal Democrats own guns and rifles and enjoy hunting. I have several and my brothers and I are going pheasant hunting this winter.

I haven't seen anybody carrying around any petition advocating gun control. < :-)

People like Adkisson are the perfect argument in favour of taking guns out of the hands of the general populace. Too many of them are nutters.

Jim adkisson became jobless,incomeless and poorer. He blamed liberals for his poverty and other woes. At 58 year of age he decides to take revenge at a church, expecting to kill or be killed(suicide mission).

Poverty,apathy,hate,liberal hate, conservative hopelessness and many other factors may have caused him to lose mind control and engage in kill suicide mission. Just a view from me . Let's hope we get more news on his life on JT.
