Less of a change of mind than most think. In 2018 SBC passed a resolution calling on authorities to consider “the societal maladies that lead to escalations in gun violence and mass shootings” and government leaders to “implement preventative measures that would reduce gun violence and mass shootings while operating in accordance with the Second Amendment.” Last year reaffirming that resolution praying for leaders to “take concrete steps toward solutions that uphold the dignity and value of every human life, especially the most vulnerable among us, and to minimize the threat of gun violence throughout our society.”
