Catch Me 7:20 AM (Mon.) On @1190kex Re: Clergy Support For Gun Violence Prevention @NRAILA

Catch me at 7:20 at on 1190 KEX tomorrow (Monday) morning talking with Paul Linnman about why Portland clergy have offered both words of support and concern over proposed gun control ordinances to come before the Portland City Council this Thursday.  The Oregonian and The Portland Mercury have both published stories over the weekend about reaction from area clergy concerned about growing gun violence in our city.  The NRA has been urging their members to oppose these common sense proposals that would, among other things, establish a "child safety law that would hold adults responsible if their gun gets into a child's hands" and "a theft reporting law that would penalize gun owners who don't report the theft or loss of a firearm."  The National Council of Churches In Christ, which has backed gun control, noted earlier that year that it is "idolatry to trust in guns to make us secure, since that usually leads to mutual escalation while distracting us from the One whose love alone gives us security."
