As a committed gun control advocates I never heard sin enter into any discussion of this. I gave a cursory look at 3 of the links and see nothing at all about sin, not wasting further time. I see mentions of laws, but laws are far different than sins - one is secular and the other is religious. Looks like you are looking for justification in the wrong places.

Really, if you haven't noticed the caring about life and safety, think you need to read more carefully.
