From that point, it would be up to the faithful, if the greater church were told, to follow the Prince of Peace or, say, the peaceable Book of Mormon example of the Anti-Nephi-Lehies, who buried their weapons of war and never retrieved them because they didn’t want to shed blood and offend God, to decide whether they would tread the celestial path to high heaven with the family members they love, without their good friends, Smith & Wesson, at their side.

And then what happened to them?
Fearful of returning to their past sins and as a sign of their covenant with God, they gathered their weapons, buried them, and committed to being pacifists and friendly with the Nephites. God then lifted their curse of dark skin.
The wicked portion of the Lamanites attacked Anti-Nephi-Lehies, but they did not attack back, instead allowed themselves to be killed while prostrate in prayer.

American’s are a perverse bunch. Always wanting something they’ve been told they can’t have.
I would not be the first to say that the 1994 AWB (that didn’t ban any “assault) weapons”) was a prime factor in turning a rifle that Colt was having trouble selling into “America’s Rifle.”
