We have an entire body of jurisprudence, both on the federal and state levels, on the nature and extent of accommodation for religious practice and belief under generally applicable laws, regardless of whether the issue is firearms, voting, drug use, health insurance and contraception, or anything else. It is a particularized and fact specific determination based on the beliefs of the objector and law itself. However, the general disdain of religious practice and/or gun ownership by you or others is not a determining factor in any analysis.
