A church in Kansas (of course) is showing its true colors and it’s actually drawing new members. More proof of the tendency to violence for religious fanatics. [kshb.com]
Too much money. They would not be able to afford the gifts, if they had to pay proper taxes.
But it is in the church tradition, after all the early church got a lot of members just by giving away bread and wine. Since in the early days it was probably real bread and wine, not a wafer and a sip of sterilized grape juice like they give today. But then they got greedy.

                                        Interesting idea. If a weapon is bought by a religious group can it get the weapon tax free!?
Onward Christian soldiers, marching as to war.
As always, you don't have to worry about the god just the fan club

@Betty You have given my mind to boggle!

That is a bad habit of mine. 
Well that's fine, but they can't legitimately claim to be a Christian church. Jesus would not have been into guns. Something about loving thy neighbor, and turning the other cheek...
