I subscribe to every last teaching of the Catholic Church, including those issued through the USCCB, the group that exists for the purpose of guiding us in those matters unique to our time and place, the group that for 45 years has been calling for background checks on all firearm transfers and registration while still supporting the rights of law abiding, mentally sound citizens to own firearms. I agree with them on abortion. On capital punishment. On the right to access to healthcare. I don't think you do across the board. I think you believe in your political agenda and use the Church for support when it suits you and ignore it when it doesn't.
You have stated that more Anericans die in bathtub accidents than by firearms. That was shown to be false. You did not recant. You stated that there already are background checks required on all gun sales. That was shown to be false. You did not recant. You stated that the Federal minimum wage applies only to Federal employees. That was shown to be false. You did not recant. You stated that people who legally own NFA registered weapons cannot cross state lines with them or have to wait 6 months for permission. That was shown to be false. You did not recant. I can go on. Do you think that yours is the type of behavior that Christ wants us to display?
The difference between you and I is stark. I have friends who own class 3 firearms and I shoot them as a matter of routine. I have spent my spare time buying and selling at gunshows since I was 18, and attending since shortly after birth. I have been a Sherif's Deputy tasked with enforcing the law and have seen first hand how hard it is to busy illegal gun peddlers. I have been there and done that. You have...well, you've read political propaganda written by people who are counting on you to remain ignorant and scared so you can be used by them.
