Evangelical Christians are manufacturing the guns used in mass shootings
In the USA today the Americans who own the most guns are not military veterans or hunters. They are white evangelical Christians, and there are 60 million of them. Evangelical churches are not only encouraging their congregations to bring their guns to church, in some cases they are setting up shooting ranges, raffling off guns as prizes and even manufacturing the mass killing weapons being used in school shootings. Veteran journalist Bill Kole was an evangelical Christian himself when began investigating the intersection between guns and god, and what he found out made him question his own religion. Guest: William J. Kole, journalist and author of In Guns We Trust -The Unholy Trinity of White Evangelicals, Politics, and Firearms, published by Broadleaf books Producer: Catherine Zengerer
