Zusammenfassung:Americans continue to be seduced by guns and victimized by gun violence. Following racial tensions across the land, especially since 2020, Americans also face increasing suspicion and hostility towards police. This essay intends to navigate the complex intersection of a culture of grief surrounding gun violence. There is careful consideration for police who find themselves too often overwhelmed in a violent society, and the discussion also considers the responsibility for people of faith to work towards a safer and more peaceful future.
