In View of the Recent Gun Violence

Whenever there is gun violence like we have seen recently, I think we should prayerfully approach the God of love with the question: Is there anything at all to be done in the way of extending or limiting the use of firearms? If deranged or demon possessed individuals knew with certainty that a large proportion of any given audience carried firearms at all times, would that curtail their actions? If the answer is affirmative, then the extension of firearm use should be encouraged by law and policy so that a significant proportion of the population carried firearms at all times. Thus, security and the perception of it would be increased. Conversely, should firearm use be discouraged so that primarily they are for the use of law enforcement officers? If the answer is affirmative, then firearm limitation should be encouraged by law and policy so that firearms are principally the domain of law enforcement officers. Thus, security and the perception of it would be increased. It is my firm conviction that some action is well overdue and that we should prayerfully follow the approach enlightened by the disciplines of love. God bless America.
