"must have guns, go to war, believe in god" rationale. Please explain

I am a little lost on this one... I mean, I get that religious types are driven to war a lot, they aren't prejuidiced... they just hate anyone not in their group.

But still, I don't quite get how people can be so god fearing, so afraid of sinning and going to hell.... but then rush out to buy as many guns as they can and push for more war.

Here we have the other "wing" of thinkers who have no fear of god's wrath, no guilt of what could come... total free thinking, do as you please sinners that, for what ever reason, doesn't want guns around... doesn't want war... doesn't want to go killing as many other people as they can.

Murder is a big no no in each interpretation of the commandments, and yet it seems to be encouraged so much so long as the person you're murdering is of some other faith....
or trespassing.

I just don't get it. Can someone explain it?
