The amish owned gun stores I've shopped in, the guns they use for hunting, the lawsuits against the NY SAFE act or trying to buy guns without a photo ID. Just because they practice pacifism does not mean they are against guns, owning them, using, etc. You can't think for a second if someone attacked them they wouldn't use them to defend themselves.

They still hunt. I know because I spoke with a young Amish man a couple of weeks ago about it. He was out bow hunting because muzzle loading season hadn't started yet. I don't know if they have more modern guns though, I didn't ask that far.
