2. Makes perfect sense

And I've never seen people so serious about doing something about guns in my 48 years. It even created a bit of separation between Church and Hate last weekend here in Lexington, KY; the "Kenny Woods Gun and Knife Show" was taking place downtown at the Civic Center and some local Churches organized a prayer remembrance for the people killed at Sandy Hook, and other victims of gun violence, at the park across the street. The news covered it like crazy. I found that pretty awesome, some religious groups actually stepping up like that. Promising.
