Where is all the violence heading?

Daily one hears of the violent murders and shootings in my Motown where I grew up on Detroit's east side not far from the Detroit City Airport.

Good people are told to get a gun. 

It seems as though everyone has a gun. 

After all, it is our second ammendent constitutional right.

But, if we have all these guns, will we not use them?

And, why are we not teaching people, and, the young to repsect guns if there are to live with us, and accompany so many each step of the steps they trek?

Without thinking deeply, last night while watching Channel Two News the thought of the Michigan National Guard coming into town seemed like a viable way out.

At least temporarily, anyway!

We must stop the killing!

Are we heading to self destruction in my Motown?

All the talk about this must find us all acting to put down the guns that are meant to murder.

Or, else?

Can we sit by and just let it continue?

Or, will we rise up in soidarity with our faith leaders taking the lead to stop the slaughter?

Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth!
