Well, if anti-gun CNN can violate firearm edicts with impunity, why can't anti-gun churches?
Just don't expect "authoritah" to treat them like they would you and me. When it comes to the antis violating the law to make a point, BATFU has been committed to looking the other way for years. After all, if you have a group of useful idiots out there helping you demonize guns in private hands, that's free advertising.
