The faith leaders coalition demanded national gun restrictions and criticized potential criminals’ access to firearms in the suburbs and nearby states.
As the bodies of fellow faith leaders lined the hot white pavement outside Chuck’s Gun Shop, Ernest Gray led in prayer through a bullhorn.
“We’re tired of the killing. We’re tired of the violence. We’re tired of the profiteering of the people who make the weapons, oh God,” said Gray, pastor of Keystone Baptist Church on the city’s West Side.A crowd of nearly 40 people, including dozens of faith leaders, gathered outside the Riverdale firearm store for a “die-in” protest Wednesday morning.
Gun violence threatens all people until lawmakers pass federal gun legislation, said the Rev. Michael Plfeger of St. Sabina Catholic Church. He said it was irresponsible that the Senate was arguing about age limits for assault weapons.“Assault weapons should not be sold to anybody: These are weapons of war,” Pfleger said.
