I came across a humorous photo on the internet of a priest using a water gun to baptize people during the pandemic. Upon seeing this, I felt compelled to investigate more into the issue of gun violence that is so prevalent in our culture. This image provoked a range of emotions within me, from the juxtaposition of religion and violence to the innocence and naivety of the general public.
