Was Lauren Boebert right in saying Christ may have prevented his crucifixion if he owned assault-style weapons?

On Saturday Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado referenced the death of Jesus Christ in a joke about gun rights hinting that Christ may have prevented his crucifixion if he owned assault-style weapons. She also pointed out that Cain killed his brother with a rock not an assaulted riffle. She said it at a Christian event run by the Charis Christian Center so I don't think it was right for her to bring republican politics into religion. Cheers and happy weekend!

Why would JC want to prevent his crucifixion by going all Jambo?

I thought he was suicidal for a cause, that him dying was kinda central to the whole Xtian narrative.

If he went all Jambo, then we wouldn't even know about Xtians today, and the whole western right wing would all be militant Zoroastrians now.
