Gun Control

December 17, 2012

Our hearts go out to all the families and friends of the victims of Friday’s tragedy in Connecticut. I made an image a while ago about gun culture and I caught a lot of anger about it. I will reiterate that statistically, guns(certain kinds especially) are more likely to take lives than to save them. That’s all I care about…saving innocent lives. Doomsday paranoia and militia machismo shouldn’t be part of a rational conversation about the absurd volume of guns and the ease of acquiring them in this country.  My friend Aaron from Occupy made a Facebook page to put pressure on the NRA.  Check it out and also check out my original post about guns which includes compelling statistics – 2nd Amendment Solutions.
Thanks for caring.
