most of the shooters come from broken homes ripped apart by divorce
Well, the Catholic Church has relaxed its requirements for marriage annulments. Before the marriage annulment is granted, the couple is required to obtain a civil divorce. Take a look at the statistics. In 1929 there were about 10 marriage annulments granted in the USA. Whereas in recent years it has been running as high as 60,000 per year in the USA. This is an increase which is not seen in other churches. What should be done about that?
Then someone mentioned armed security guards at a Church. Yes, if you are not going to have stricter gun controls, then I guess that you are going to have to beef up the security at schools, including walls around the building, metal detectors at the entrance, frisk and search everyone entering the building, armed security guards and snipers ready to defend students who are there to study.
But I would also recommend that each gun be required to have grip recognition technology so that it could be fired only by the person to whom it is registered. That way, if the gun is lost or stolen, it could not be used. A 14 year old who stole his parent’s gun and brought it to school would not be able to fire it. It would work only for the parent to whom it was registered.
And further, each gun would be required to have insurance just as the car you drive must be registered and have insurance in case of an accident. Families would then be able to apply for financial help to pay for the funerals or for the medical expenses of the victims of gun violence. There are more than 30,000 deaths per year in the US due to gun violence. As Amnesty international has said, this is a human rights crisis. How do we insure the God given right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness unless we end gun violence. In the USA, many innocent people are being gunned down and shot dead. Amnesty International has a program of public education and advocacy to reduce gun violence. Please see:
