The Washington Post could have saved itself some time — we haven’t checked yet, but we’re fairly certain David French has already published a New York Times column explaining why evangelical Christians should support gun confiscation. We don’t know the religious denominations of the two hero cops who took out Nashville school shooter Audrey Hale, but they answered the question of what to do about guns … use them to take out those who would harm you or your children.
WaPo thinks the mass shooting raises a “controversial” question:
After a mass shooter killed six people Monday at Covenant School, a small Christian academy, the community faced a controversial question: What’s the Christian thing to do about guns? https://t.co/jRcdsROOoP

“A look at how the ‘buckle of the Bible Belt’ contends with the question of gun control.”
Silvia Foster-Frau reports:
“In Nashville, White, Christian culture and gun culture are practically synonymous,” said David Dark, professor of religion at Nashville’s Belmont University, who says he is an “aspiring follower of Jesus Christ.”
“Marketed Christianity is everywhere,” he added. “And not everything that is successfully marketed as Christianity is moral. Not everything that is marketed as Christianity reaches basic standards of public safety.”
Assuming WaPo asked “what’s the Christian thing to do about murder and violent activists” question. https://t.co/ZH9tC0g4c8

Controversial is doing way way way too much work in that header

I don't think that's the question and it certainly isn't controversial.

Prosecute those who commit crimes with guns instead of pleading them down and letting them out with no bail. Next question.

The real question is: what to do about the mental health crisis leading people to believe they can become the other gender?
