Pastor Barry Randolph Leads the Charge Against Gun Violence

Pastor Barry Randolph who started the Silence the Violence march, says gun violence is a big problem caused by laws and politics. He points out that while new Michigan gun safety laws like safe storage rules, universal background checks, and ownership restrictions have started this year, there is still more to do.
