Beautiful essay. Thank you.

I agree. I choose not to own a gun, but if I did and if anyone else does. I don't think the problem is rooted in gun ownership. That is like looking at the problem and saying that the gun allows the disturbed individual to kill too many victims at once. 1 Victim is too many. The Gunman himself being a victim of our society is 1 too many even if he had just hung himself. We need to find the roots and change the soil in which we develop our children. Globally. Now.

I thought your reply sounded like Scientology... and the links are to Scientology sites.
