Sandy Hook taught me that our country’s love affair with guns and money is too powerful a sin to be broken no matter the amount of blood spilled.

I know I've missed some important stuff but I don't need or want to know anything more about Las Vegas, the statistics of this mass murder, or the motives behind the actions of the killer, whose name I will not even mention.

Have we become so accustom to mass shooting and the daily gun violence that we can’t seem to find any action we can take to curtail the violence?

Gun control is a religious issue because a lot of what we think about guns and our freedoms — and weapons of any kind — is often informed by religious beliefs.

Since Orlando, I’ve heard AR-15s described as “tools,” as though they were garden hoes.

In an announcement this week Sravasti Abbey, the Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Newport, condemned the Orlando mass shooting and said responding with "Bigotry, discrimination, and angry retaliation" isn't an effective response.

While I saw some encouraging posts and movements encouraging unity, I also saw individuals post political commentaries surrounding the Orlando shooting.
