I've had a few talks with the guys in my "small group" about guns. Most know I own a gun and like to get others to shoot. Many are supportive, but don't see owning a gun themselves. A few obviously see no need for guns, a bit idyllic but they don't cal them evil or the like. So far it's been pretty good.
I like Just One Shot's idea. Use this as a lesson. Take the verses that speak of the Pharisee's, how they cleaned the outside of the cup hoping to make the inside clean. Then the old stand by of "Judge not lest ye be judged. Pull the plank out of thine eye before..."
There are plenty of good scriptural examples to help this situation. You have spoken to your pastor, and should respect his authority. Teach your son to do the same. Respect her authority, but there are also many verses that call one to be blameless and without shame. The quicker he's used to the idea that people are different, the better person he'll be and a better servant. Reinforce that the scripture is how we divine God's will.
