OR-ID MFSA Working to Reduce Gun Violence

Many, if not most, can agree that too many people are being injured and killed by guns. The problem has only increased. At the same time, there are strong feelings and opinions about the Second Amendment of the United State’s Constitution and the right of citizens to bear arms.

How can we, as Christians and justice-seekers, open conversations about this issue? What are the facts, and what actions can concerned citizens take? How can we motivate our state legislators and Congresspersons to take appropriate action to reduce unwanted injuries and death? Just what kind of firearms is it reasonable for responsible citizens to possess? 

To aid in this conversation, Oregon-Idaho’s Methodist Federation for Social Action has gathered resources, weblinks, and readings on gun violence – its sources, its impact, and its story.
