I pray for the eternal rest of the victims of gun violence in #Annapolis, and for their families and friends. And I am disgusted that our country seems paralyzed, incapable of doing the moral thing: enact sensible gun laws. Gun control is a pro-life issue. americamagazine.org/politics-socie…

“...our nation has become a world leader in mass shootings. And the pattern has become agonizingly familiar: horror, grief, candlelight vigils, stories about the victims... angry debates about gun laws that go nowhere — and then a wait for the next bloodbath.”
“Mental health is a factor in this problem, but hardly the most obvious factor. Actually, very few of the mentally ill are violent or a danger to anyone, except perhaps themselves.”
We don't know much about the shooting in #Annapolis yet, but we do know this is not the right way to respond
Supporters of the President who called media the enemy of the people celebrate the murder of journalists.
Reasonable people: we don't want to speculate but its not good that people, including the President, are invoking violence against journalists
