A Facebook post of a lockdown rhyme being taught to preschoolers went viral after a concerned parent posted it on Facebook.

As the nation mourns victims of yet another school shooting, some groups and media continue to struggle with how to define one.

As a couple of advertisers backed out, a Fox News anchor apologized for a tweet about the Florida high school student who has spoken out about gun violence.

After yet another school shooting this week, some of the same tired old responses were being churned out as people debated doing something about the latest tragedy.

No matter which side of the gun debate you stand on, there's something I wish we could just remove from the gun-free zones discussion altogether. We hear it every time there's a shooting. We all know it's coming from someone who wants everyone armed at all times. (Well, everyone, that...

Does Jesus forbid self-defense? That's a question pro-gun Christians are quick to throw out, sooner or later, any time there's talk of gun control. It's a simple question with a complicated answer. One of the most disturbing things I hear from Christians who also happen to love their guns isn't...

Even when those who favor gun control lay out perfectly rational, common sense arguments, they fall on some stubbornly deaf ears. President Barack Obama addressed the nation to explain executive orders for gun control he was putting in place. It was easily the most emotional speech I've ever seen him...

Sooner or later, when the discussion about Jesus and his possible advocacy of guns comes up, someone will bring up the swords verse. Recently, I shared on Facebook what I considered to be a very good post from John Pavlovitz, a pastor in North Carolina, about owning guns. I said...

In an article written for The Washington Post, retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, suggested a five-word change to the second...

A rallying cry for gun enthusiasts has been 'The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun'. A retired good guy, however, stands accused in a deadly theater shooting. A 43-year-old Florida man was shot to death and his wife was...

The chairman of Starbucks is asking customers to keep guns out of their stores and outdoor seating areas in response to an “appreciation day” started by gun enthusiasts. So much for “Starbucks Appreciation Day,” a manufactured occasion which is designed to celebrate Starbucks as a “gun-friendly” business. In a letter to customers,...

Have you heard of the Pearl River, MS shooting? An interesting meme on Facebook the other day used the incident as a way to accuse the media of bias. It’s amusing to me how easily some people can be swayed by any argument that paints the media as being biased....

On Tuesday, a 20-year-old student wounded at least 14 people with a knife at Lone Star College in Cypress, Texas. No one died, but several were seriously injured in the attack. Yet reaction to the story across Facebook put some of the worst of us on display for the rest...
