Today’s injustice is God’s justice
It’s a pattern recorded time and again in Scripture and felt throughout history. God judges sinful people with the actions of even more sinful people.

We don’t have a gun violence problem
It’s time everyone stops saying that America has a gun violence problem. Our situation is nowhere near as superficial as that. We have a violence problem, period, irrespective of what instrument is used in the commission of a crime
