Guns are the number one leading killer of children between zero and 19, more than anything else. It is guns that actually kill children and accidental discharge is a significant public health problem. Child access prevention laws do make a difference for suicide and unintentional deaths. But again, that's a behavior based sort of reform that an awful lot of people are going to get on board with even if they are broadly supportive of gun rights.
This week, Curtis kicks off a two parter on the tough subject of guns in America. Part 1 is a Good Faith Classic where Curtis and David explored the tensions between gun culture and gun control in our hyper-polarized environment. They help us take a step back to think through the “how” of approaching such a complex issue versus just the “what” of our preferred policy outcome. Stay tuned for next week’s Part 2 episode where Good Faith explores what a Christian response to gun violence could look like.
