Jesuits call for repeal of 2nd Amendment

[NYC_SKP]

22. Here's a very readable pros-cons article from a non-denominational but spiritual writer.

I agree with the General Synod's recommendations, most gun owners would. Some are even "NRA talking points"!

--Increase civil and criminal liability for misuse of firearms;
--restrict possession by convicts;
--strengthen handgun licensing regs;
--limit handgun purchases to one/month;
--require training in the safe use of firearms;

There are only two that I disagree with: gun safety device requirements and prohibit semi-automatics (depending on the details).

OH, LOOK AT US! We're talking about guns, not religion!

I don't doubt for a moment that some people in some churches are opposed to the Second Amendment.

That said, it's a gun argument and not a spiritual one, absent some dialogue.

Somebody representing a religion takes a stand on guns. I'm bored before I begin.

Here is a far more readable and rational look at both sides of the question:

From this, a dialogue might develop.
