Show me the passage in the Bible where God tells you to cling to your guns.

Is it the part right after "Do not Kill"?

He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore.

So a modern version would be guns into rototillers I suppose. So the Bible is basically saying to put down your weapons and do something useful like plant and grow food instead.
