St. Louis pastors have come up with an ingenious new way to fight violent crime in America’s sixth most crime-ridden city.

When the Great Coronavirus Gun Run first got under way in earnest last week, sneering, sniggering critics in the media made great sport of tsk-tsking at all the stupid rubes, ridiculing them and wondering if they were really so dumb as to think they were going to shoot the virus.
