I too have a huge problem with the words "gun violence". Even some pro-gun people use this term and it really bugs me. There is no such thing, if there were there would also be knife violence, car violence, baseball bat violence, even swimming pool violence - plus many more!! Welcome to OCDO, if you're ever close to the Tidewater area, let us know and we'll schedule an Open Carry Dining Out....

Hello Rev. Carl,I have tried to educate anyone and everyone I talk to about guns and the number one thing I try to convey is, If I lay a gun on a table and no one picks it up, whether it is loaded or not, it will not hurt or harm anyone ever. Not that I would do that by the way. But like I said it would lay there not hurting anyone or anything. Now if someone comes along and they have it in they're mind to harm others or do themselves harm then it is in they're mindset to do it. It isn't the fault of the gun. It takes intent to do harm. The gun is just a means to do it, just like a club, car or bow and arrow. People put way too much attention on the guns used in crimes, it shouldn't be there. It should be on the people that used the gun in the crime. You hear all the time about people screaming about this guy used a gun to kill someone, you never hear that same group screaming ban all cars because that guy drove his car to the guys house to kill him. Simple facts are that cars kill many more people every year than guns do and you don't hear them saying ban all cars.
