Will Christensen (Forum Feb. 23) seems to have escalated the debate regarding gun ownership to a new level. He has moved from an assertion that gun ownership is a constitutional right to a claim that it is a God-given right.

While I'm certainly no theological expert, I do not recall anywhere in the scriptures that such a right was extended to anyone. Perhaps Christensen can enlighten us on the source of his assertion. Was it personal revelation (there seems to be a lot of that going around lately) or is it simply the gospel according to the NRA?Albert G. Smith
