I’d like to make a confession: I have little hope when it comes to solving the mass shooting epidemic.

epidemic. It has plagued our country since the Columbine massacre, which occurred during my junior year in high school. It has shown no sign of abating in the decades since. This is partially because fixing a problem of this magnitude requires fruitful discourse and consensus, of which we have neither. Indeed, our leaders seem interested in little except tribal posturing.
On one hand, liberals would have us believe they can wave a magic wand and “ban guns” in the U.S. entirely. This is the happy-talk of unserious people. The cat is out of the bag when it comes to guns in America. They are everywhere, and we can only track some of them. I have never heard aproposal that wouldn’t exclusively benefit career criminals, whose guns are impossible to confiscate.
Nor have I heard a proposal from the Left that would address the most fundamental aspect of mass shootings: the fact that our culture consistently produces maniacs bent on wide-scale and indiscriminate murder. For an ideology obsessed with addressing “root causes,” the liberal fixation on guns in relation to mass shootings is curious.
For their part, conservatives usually bring nothing to the table in the way of ideas. They are roundly mocked by their opponents for offering prayers without solutions; this is not without cause. Authentic prayer inspires fresh insight and action. It is where the faithful encounter the living God, and where He breathes new life into them. Avoidance and inaction are the surest signs that authentic prayer is absent.
