To understand gun violence, the key is not to understand guns. It is to understand violence. What are the conditions under which people feel the need to use violence? In the United States, people pray at the altar of the most violent force in the history of the world. Citizens have been conditioned to be accepting of violence.
It really saddens me that the issues regarding the violent environment in the U.S. are attributed to guns. To stop violence, create environments of love.
Keep up the good work Adam!
