Rather than consistently and loudly calling for the increased gun control legislation that our Bishops are calling for, some people who value Earthly political ideals above Christ's Church will waffle on about conservative States and about liberal States.
France's murder rate hovers around 1.0 per 100k. New Hampshire, the State with the lowest murder rate (and a liberal State) is also around 1.0 per 100k. Every othe American State is higher, many are several times higher. Arizona is 5.5, California 4.9, Missouri 7.0, Texas 5.0, Louisiana 9.6. The vast majority of US States have gun-only murder rates that far exceed France's murder rate by all causes.
The only gun control laws that can be really effective are laws at the Federal level, the laws our Church is pulling for. We can loudly support these pro-life measures, or we can waffle and distract like hyperpartisan cowards.
