Regarding the recent mass shootings that devastated lives, families, and communities — some think that guns are the cause, others think that it’s easy access to guns, and in general blame the Second Amendment and the NRA. A letter writer on Sunday even expressed his opinion that religion is to blame. Really? I seriously doubt that the Roseburg, Marysville, Littletown, Columbine, or theater shooters spent many of their Sundays in church, which leads this writer to come to the opposite conclusion. So Grandma and I will be packing our well-worn Bibles to church in about an hour, and pray for the families of the victims, and our country, and that lonely and hurting souls will seek help. I suggest Matthew 11:28-30 for starters.
