At church in Pennsylvania, worshippers attend ceremony with AR-15 rifles - The Boston Globe
Crown-wearing worshippers clutching AR-15 rifles drank holy wine and exchanged or renewed wedding vows in a commitment ceremony at a Pennsylvania church on Wednesday, prompting a nearby school to cancel classes.
With state police and a smattering of protesters standing watch outside the church, brides clad in white and grooms in dark suits brought dozens of unloaded AR-15s into World Peace and Unification Sanctuary for a religious event that doubled as an advertisement for the Second Amendment.
Someone will need to join the dots for me here. I have obviously been to a few "shotgun weddings" in my time but nobody actually brought a shotgun.
