What about in Illinois? I phoned the Catholic Conference of Illinois asked about the positions of the Catholic institutions here in Illinois. "We already have gun background checks in Illinois," said Mary, the communication director. What about online gun sales? She said she is not aware of such statements on gun issues. We are more concerned about Open Carry, she said. We are working on our state legislators to exempt churches from places where people can carry the weapons openly.
In Virginia, Democrat Mark Herring won the race against the Republican candidate who opposed "every constructive proposal to help reduce gun violence". While killings continue on the street, let us hope we are moving forward in the right direction.
