Letter to the editor: Our gun culture makes 'life' pleas ring hollow

Tribune-Review

Kennywood is no longer safe.

Bus stops are no longer safe.

Funerals are no longer safe.

And yet, we continue our obsession with guns. Cardinal Blase J. Cupich, archbishop of Chicago, reminds us that “The Second Amendment did not come down from Sinai; the right to bear arms will never be more important than human life.”

Until we turn our hearts from idols wrought of cold steel, innocent people will continue to be wounded, maimed and killed. Pleas from politicians and preachers, advocating for a “culture of life,” will continue to ring hollow until we condemn and confront our “culture of guns.”
