It was very sad what happened in the Sikh Gurudwara in Wisconsin about three weeks ago.  Unnecessary innocent civilians were killed by a brain washed lonely white supremacist.  The whole world is sympathetic to the Sikh community.  This is not needed in a civilized society.  However, it is equally sad to hear that the Sikh community is pondering upon an idea to bear guns to avoid this type of incidents.  This raises two questions; are Sikhs thinking of bearing guns while visiting Gurudwaras also or are they just contemplating to have these guns for their personal safety in the street, at their home and work places?  If the latter is true, it may not be out of line.  There are so many people in the USA bearing guns - legally or illegally.  But if the former is true, then it is something to think about.  Sikh Gurudwaras or any other religious place where people go to seek divine peace and eventual salvation are very sacrosanct places.  Bearing guns or hoarding guns at such religious places will be in complete violation of the sanctity of these shrines.  Guns and religions need not to be mixed under one pretext or other.  ONE HOPES THAT THE SIKH COMMUNITY WILL THINK SOME OTHER AVENUES TO TACKLE THIS TYPE OF SITUATION INSTEAD OF ENCOURAGING AN IDEA OF PROLIFERATION OF GUNS.
