Gun Sense Team Update 

January 2022

Gun Sense. At first pass, that seems like an oxymoron to some. However, with four-in-ten American adults admitting they live in a household with a gun (Pew Research Center), and with approximately 38,000 total deaths in the U.S. involving guns in 2019, including 24,000 suicides and 14,000 homicides (according to the BBC), learning how to navigate and mitigate that reality safely –- sensibly -- is important. What can we do, and how can we do it? This is part of the work and focus of the Gun Sense Team here at Unity Church.  

We want to hear from YOU. What are your specific questions or concerns around gun ownership? Gun violence? Gun laws and policy? Do you have questions about the Gun Sense Team here at Unity? Please ask your questions or let us know your interest in joining us in this work by completing the form on this page.  Beginning in January, the team will meet on the second Tuesday of each month, at 4:30 p.m., on Zoom. 

Join Protect Minnesota!

Each ministry team at Unity Church is required to partner with an organization outside of the church. Unity's Gun Sense Ministry Team partners with Protect Minnesota, the only independent state-focused organization working for reasonable gun safety policy solutions in Minnesota. We urge all of you to look at their website and to join the organization. We think that it is positive, focused and reliable.
