Cardinal "Non-Sequitur Tobin" of Newark

Egads.

This poor fellow cannot assemble a logical argument.

...“It’s true that we have a second amendment right to bear arms, but rights always involve responsibilities — in this case, the responsibility to protect the innocent and to secure public safety and good order,” the cardinal declares in a recent pastoral letter. “The mass shootings we are witnessing almost weekly now are a grave threat to the lives and well-being of all people.”...

...“Let’s voluntarily set aside our rights in order to witness the truth that only peace, and never violence, is the way to build a free society that is lived concretely in our homes, our neighborhoods, our communities, our nation and our world,” he writes....

So in +Tobin's analysis, "protecting the innocent and.....securing public safety and good order" (and self defense, for that matter) are not good reasons for owning weapons, so I should leave my wife and children defenseless in the face of armed assault, eh?

Something's missing here, and it's not in the Second Amendment.
