"Inanimate objects are neither good nor bad."

Agree.

They are used by good or bad people.

Agree.

"Most people who have a facination of firearms are impressed that they can be loaded and used hundreds of years if stored in a moderate environment."

Bull. They are NOT fascinated with THIS gun because it might still work after hundreds of years. LOL!


This PARTICULAR gun is notorious for murdering people. Big difference. Your silly distracted explanation is ridiculous.
Which brings me back to the question of why a Catholic priest would want THIS particular gun around and venerate it. I think it is sick.

Your explanation is simply false. There is no suggestion that the gun is venerated by the Catholic church.

It is an object of great historical interest. Do you not understand that?

Well, there was that tiz over some guy wanting to buy the estate of Jeff Dahlmer, and put his cooking utensils on display.

I'm facinated by the Browning because it's a known firearm that was in a particular place in time. We know for sure exactly where it was almost a hundred years ago. AND IT SURVIVED ALL THOSE YEARS.
If you think it's evil or has some sort of power over you that it must be destroyed, I can't argue with that. You know yourself better than I do.
I wish I knew the history of the firearms I own. One piece I used to own was a rarity of a rarity from the Civil War.
