Sikh Man Claims Gun Laws Violate Religion

This is a very interesting story from California where a Sikh man claims as part of his lawsuit that gun control violates his first amendment right to freedom of religion. He claims that the gun control laws put him at risk, as he cannot carry a weapon of his choice for self defense.

This is interesting as according to Sikh doctrine one must be prepared to defend themselves and others against injustice.

The article is here:

Do you think this has any bearing on our issues with dealing with gun control? Could religious "doctrine" force the government to reconsider their stance?

In any case this is an interesting approach at defending our Second Amendment rights.
