As Margin pointed out, his message was one of self defense. Also, Joseph Smith is a person like you or I and never claimed to be perfect, or perfectly Christ-like. Since I'm sure the quote has either been given or taken out of context, it would be wise to reserve judgement until you've examined his entire life, factually.

It is not the business of the law—even if this were practically possible, which is, of course, most unlikely—to make anyone good or reverent or moral or clean or upright. This is for each individual to decide for himself." -Murray Rothbard, "For a New Liberty"
