>> that is completely false. the washington post op-ed writer said that and i am taking action. like somebody said there is nothing of importance you can do until you pray but many things importance you can do after you pray. i'm glad the president is considering the possibility of background checks and red flag laws but the fact is if we depend on legislation alone to solve the gun problem we are going to be sadly disappointed. the state of illinois has the most stringent gun laws in the country and a chicago hospital had to stop accepting new patients because it's trauma unit was overrun with gunshot victims. there was a spiritual component of this gun violence problem we must address, and alongside any proposed legislation.
