What, if anything, should we do about gun violence?

Ed Vasicek

Some Christians has simplistic answers for everything. What we need to do is evangelize more, etc. and then that would solve all our woes. To my way of thinking, that is not true at all. Our churches are filled with evangelized people and pastors, and look at the messes we see!

But should we simply passively watch gun violence with mass shootings and say, “The problem is the human heart. Regeneration will fix it:?” Or will we address the fact that most people will never get saved and that some behaviors need to be contained?

Kindling a New Originalist Fire

SI Filings

“…originalism did not begin with answers. It began when Robert Bork faced the Warren Court’s ‘Because!’ and asked: ‘But why?’ Why these rulings and not others?…. The entire originalist-textualist project sprang from the search for an answer to these questions, for a bulwark against an earlier Supreme Court’s ipse dixit.” - Law & Liberty
