        @ArtAcevedo Bravo. Keep walking this walk and we will have our insanely strict gun control and as a result be able to watch ALL of our children grow up and graduate from high school, mass shooting free. This scourge must end. Thank you sir.

        We need more moderate Christians to speak up... or stop with the 'pro-life' hypocrisy.https://twitter.com/LandonSchnabel/status/997547512214052865 …

        After Parkland, we started studying why some people aren't open to considering gun control. We found Christian nationalism is key. After today's tragedy, we decided to post an early preprint to hopefully help move this important conversation forward: https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/3ag7k … pic.twitter.com/iXUm7giDgl

        There is a difference between gun "rights" and the right to gun anarchy. When I got my first handgun in 1974, I had to get a license which seemed normal. Now in my state. No license is necessary.

        I've often wondered why the police don't take a strong position for gun control - if nothing else, for self-preservation.
