"Palin brings God, guns to Republican ticket"

The Sunday Times of Malta seems very happy with the new dimension added to the Republican Presidential candidacy, through Sarah Palin, who is bringing "God, guns to the Republican ticket" http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20080831/world-news/palin-brings-god-guns-to-republican-ticket

I can't understand how anyone who professes to worship a loving God thinks it's a great idea for the entire population to carry an implement whose sole purpose is that of killing fellow humans. The Sunday Times also made a big issue of the fact that Palin is a fierce anti-abortion campaigner. The message, I suppose, is that it's wrong to kill an unborn human, but it's OK to carry a gun, with the intention to kill (no longer unborn) humans. Who knows, we might even witness a couple more schoolyard massacres thanks to Ms Palin's support of the gun lobby.
