"“The death of the righteous is not to be feared – it is not to be shunned,” he said. “It is the shadowed threshold to the palace of God.”"
- Rev. Billy Graham
If death is a Christian's entry to Heaven, why would such a person wish to avoid death by defending themselves against anyone trying to kill them?
Logicly, people (of whatever faith has an afterlife) should welcome death. Drive sans seatbelts, not look before crossing the street, avoid medicine and good health, and not own weapons for defensive purposes to hasten their own deaths. While they're usually forbidden to commit suicide, they can not try as hard to stay alive and still 'go up.'
