text: It's all very nice that these liberal-sounding faith coalitions are so concerned about gun violence in this country that they're taking a principled stance against it, but their collective voices might as well be whistling past the graveyard because last November their voices were drowned out by other, larger conservative "faith coalitions" like the USCCB, the Southern Baptist Convention, the entirety of the so-called evangelical faith community and most other Christians who supported Donald Trump and his strong allegiance to the NRA. Now that he's slithered into the Oval Office there will be only relaxation of gun laws, not strengthening of them. These people can make all the noise they want but they'd do better to save their breath until it comes time to elect new members of Congress to help flush out the filth that has invaded Washington like drug-resistant bacteria. Only then will the real hope for change exist. Right now is the time to rest and let the Republicans hang themselves.
