Should Guns Be Banned In The US?

Today has been a sad day, not only for the parents and families of the 27 victims massacred at Sandy Hook School in Connecticut, America but for the entire world.

The world was informed earlier on today that 20 young children that attended the school were brutally shot with a gun used by a teacher’s son.

According to the Washington Post, the killer has been identified as Adam Lanza, only 20 years of age.

The laws on guns in the United States have long been debated and we are now forced to re-question whether laws should be tightened like in Britain, where the possession of a firearm is a serious offence leading to a prison sentence.

Let us all pray for those involved in the day’s horrific events, that they will be granted peace and forgiveness.

Christian Missionary Leader Dead

Christian missionary Birgitta Almeby has reportedly died on Wednesday in a Stockholm hospital after she was shot in the Pakistani town of Lahore on 3 December.

Almeby, who had lived in Pakistan for 35 years was quickly flown to Stockholm to be treated for her injuries, but unfortunately could no longer fight for her life.

The 71-year-old worked for charity Full Gospel Assemblies (FGA), who had several projects across Lahore, Faisalabad and other towns in the Asian country.
