Churches and Guns

Where does your church stand on gun rights? This is a list of mainline American Christian church bodies and their websites. I performed searches at each site using the word “guns” or “violence” and have provided a link to those results.

Ratings:
F = Anti-gun. These churches have official statements supporting more stringent gun control.
D = Leans anti-gun. No official statement or resolution, but church officials have written articles in support of gun control.
C = Adiaphora. These churches have no official position.
B = Leans Pro-gun. No official resolution but website features articles/posts supporting self-defense.
A = Pro-gun. Official statements or resolutions supporting gun rights. Openly pro-gun.
