Gun Violence

As bishops, we support measures that control the sale and use of firearms and make them safer — especially efforts that prevent their unsupervised use by children or anyone other than the owner — and we reiterate our call for sensible regulation of handguns and believe that in the long run and with few exceptions — i.e. police officers, military use — handguns should eventually be eliminated from our society.
