Last Thursday, a lone gunman at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon, took the lives of nine people. The shooter targeted Christians for death and left non-Christians merely wounded, reports say. Despite this clear anti-Christian bias, President Obama used the occasion to push gun control rather than begin a “national conversation” about hatred toward Christians.

“This is something we should politicize,” Obama declared. “It cannot be this easy for somebody who wants to inflict harm on other people to get his or her hands on a gun.”

After the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO, Obama called for a national conversation on race. After the racist massacre of a black Bible-study group in a historic Charleston church earlier this year, politicians, pundits and news outlets universally condemned the Confederate flag when the real culprit was a hateful racist, not the flag itself.

When black Christians are attacked, the discussion is about race. When Christians are attacked only for their faith, the discussion turns to gun control. How does that do justice to such horrific massacres?
