Mass Shootings Continue Across the US Over the Weekend | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

This was another weekend of violence in the US, with mass shootings in many states, including Tennessee, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona and South Carolina. The Gun Violence Archive, which monitors mass shootings, has catalogued at least 200 mass shootings since the start of the year. The Washington Post reports there have been at least 3 shootings per week in 2022. Cohost of EWTN's 'God's Blueprint for a Happy Life,' Deacon Harold Burke Sivers, joins to share his thoughts on the horrific shooting at St. Francis Catholic Church in Nigeria on Sunday. He turns to the US and explains what he thinks is spurring the violence, specifically the string of mass shootings we saw over the weekend. Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are debating gun control measures. Meanwhile in New York, Governor Kathy Hochul banned assault-style weapons and body armor. Burke Sivers discusses what he thinks can be done to ease this violence and whether he believes implementing new legislation will help.
