We saw a bumper sticker the other day that, however much of a sound byte approach to a profound issue, said: “Guns cause murder the way gnats cause garbage.” OK, that’s clever.

But we can read on most any web magazine today about the man who murdered a pastor in a church near St Louis last Sunday morning and a man who killed 10 in the South.

Without access to handguns, these senseless murders don’t happen. It is Constitutional, but that doesn’t make it either “right” or “good.” What can we do?
