After the terrible tragedy inside Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., two firefighters were shot and killed today, on Christmas Eve, in Webster, N.Y. while responding to a house fire. 

Since the Connecticut elementary school shootings, Slate magazine tallied the number of gun deaths at 160 nationwide, including one here in Wilmington, the shooting death of 19-year-old Joshua Proutey.  

Many are asking if the amount of gun violence in America is the fault of the ready access to guns or a lax mental health care system or both. 

Is gun control a moral or religious issue as well?

Some argue it's an American, God-given right to carry weapons for self-protection. 

How do you feel?

Here is the lay of the land on Twitter today on the issue of guns and God.
