Can you really say you're taking your own religion seriously when you decide to do something like this? I mean blessing an inanimate object? Seems like something you might do with a child and their security blanket, but not for an adult.
Catholics bless inanimate objects all of the time. The blessing of Christmas trees and bacon certainly seems strange to me.

We do bless objects that have some sort of religious association, like rosaries for example. But lets be clear the church that blessed those guns is not catholic.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
