Time to prove we love our children more than we love our guns
The killing of three people at a San Diego Islamic center, reportedly by teenage attackers in what authority’s suspect is a hate crime, is a tragedy layered with preventable failures.
We must confront how propaganda, fear, and dehumanization can poison young minds. We must also confront how easy access to unsecured firearms turns that poison into irreversible violence. When minors can obtain weapons from their own home, accountability cannot stop at the trigger.
This is no longer an abstract debate about rights. It is a daily reckoning with lives lost in places of worship, schools, and neighborhoods. Statistics consistently show that more guns in homes increase the risk of death, not safety.
If we truly value our children, our faith, and our communities, we must be willing to reconsider the policies and attitudes that put weapons above human life. Loving God and loving our children should mean choosing their safety over our attachment to guns.
