Letter to the editor: Prayer is not enough to save the innocent from assault weapons

Tribune-Review | Sunday, June 5, 2022 8:00 a.m.

After a shooting of many innocent people, innocent children, we pray; then another and another massacre, and we pray, as we should. But prayer is not enough. I believe that we are given choices to make, making the wrong ones; we then punish ourselves.

We need to take responsibility with our actions in this world. God didn’t tell us to make assault weapons to kill each other, but taught us to love one another. Not one person needs to own a deadly assault-style weapon. America, act, and ban these as other countries have done.
