but apparently our cowardly county executive doesn't want to deal with that. Now it looks like we're planning a community forum on gun violence in tandem with the county government.

And today Maryland's governor announced he would push for some really strong gun control measures this legislative session, so I suspect we're going to help lobby for those laws, like UUs did for Maryland's new marriage equality law.

I will go to the nonviolence working group's meetings later this month with a suggestion that we hold at least one teach-in on the issue, like folks did in the 1960s over the Vietnam War. No blah-blah speeches, just concerned people presenting facts and responding to questions to educate people on this issue. I don't know what other ideas will be presented.

The UUA has put together a resource page on gun violence in response to the Newtown murders. Congregations might find this helpful.
