Are there gun people in Heaven?

Are there gun people in Heaven?  You know - people who are really, really into guns?  A while back, I asked a similar question - Are there guns in Heaven?  And then there's, Are there assault weapons in Heaven?  Asking if there are gun people in Heaven seems like a logical next question. First off, by "gun people" I mean people who are really, really in favor of people having guns.  Someone like Meghan McCain, who recently said, "I'm not living without guns.  It's just that simple." After that, the question becomes just how important the guns really are.  There's something else I wrote a couple years ago - What’s most important to you?  Did you notice, these are all questions?  Sometimes I like to do that - ask questions.  If nothing else, I hope to get people to think about things that maybe you've never considered before. And so it is with Christians and guns.  I'll never understand the fascination that Christians have with certain things in the world.  One of them is guns.  Even more so for assault weapons.  And yet - it's very common.  That leads to a more limited question.  One that's important for my intended audience.  Are there Christian gun people in Heaven?  And since Meghan McCain claims to be Christian, she's the impetus for what I'm writing today.

How important are guns to people?

In "What's most important to you?", I had a quote from C. S. Lewis.

If we insist on keeping Hell (or even Earth) we shall not see Heaven: if we accept Heaven we shall not be able to retain even the smallest and most intimate souvenirs of Hell.” from “The Great Divorce” by C. S. Lewis

Let's take one part of that phrase and examine it.   if we accept Heaven we shall not be able to retain even the smallest and most intimate souvenirs of Hell (or earth) That's a simple, logical, if-then statement.  While we can change the words around and try to make sense of the negative, opposite and something called the contrapositive variations of it - there's only one that's always true.  It's the contrapositive.  That's: if we retain even the smallest and most intimate souvenirs of Hell (or earth) then we shall not be able to accept Heaven Did you catch that?  If we want to keep even the tiniest thing from Hell (or earth), then we cannot accept Heaven.  Sure, we can claim to have accepted Heaven - accept Jesus and His path to Heaven.  But what C. S. Lewis is saying is this - If we hang on to anything, no matter how small, that's from Hell (or earth) - then our claim to have accepted Heaven isn't true.  It can't be true. Really?  Is that just something C. S. Lewis made up?  Sorry, but no, it's not.  It's something Jesus said.  Although, what Jesus said was actually even stronger.  Before we read Jesus' words though, I want to point something out.  At the time, large crowds were following Jesus.  That's like large flashing lights are going off.  Warnings.  It's like, whenever large crowds are following Him, Jesus says something really hard.  Something to let them know what they're really getting into.  Remember when He started talking to them about eating His flesh and drinking His blood?  And then all but the original twelve left Him? With that in mind, here's what Jesus said about taking things with us.  More correctly, about not taking anything with us.

The Cost of Being a Disciple

Lk 14:25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: 26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be my disciple. 27 And anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.

Lk 14:28 “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it? 29 For if he lays the foundation and is not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule him, 30 saying, ‘This fellow began to build and was not able to finish.’
