An additional conversation might be about the "privilege" we enjoy up here in our secure and safe, white, upper-middle class environs, which allows us to to ponder these ideas, compared to other races in this country experiencing violence on a daily basis, with or without guns. <br />BethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109533402211745564.post-69503136883179703302012-05-27T13:53:08.474-05:002012-05-27T13:53:08.474-05:00Good idea, Lee.

Though no one in the house ever had a gun, I just got rid of a souvenir machete and hunting knife that had been in a drawer for years. I will put up my "No gun" sign and let you know if I receive any comments.<br /><br />SheilaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109533402211745564.post-72849697659950440342012-05-27T06:57:38.259-05:002012-05-27T06:57:38.259-05:00I could not agree more with you Lee.

I think you should reproduce your card so we can hand it out at our Peace and Justice rallys/marches/vigils. It is public education that is needed to counter the few that are so loud and so well funded by the NRA. So, thanks for providing a new idea. Passing out your card would give us an opening to discuss the issues of fear and violence in our culture with strangers on the street.

We still have our "Safe House" sticker on the door. Seems like it should apply to not carrying (or housing) weapons as well. <br />I like your idea, Lee. It's a sad commentary on our society that there are more guns than people. We're such a frightened, angry nation, and more guns only contribute to the fear. They don't make me feel safer--on the contrary.<br />LauraLauranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109533402211745564.post-18362560521215839342012-05-26T19:30:08.283-05:002012-05-26T19:30:08.283-05:00Better to have a gun and not need it than to need ...Better to have a gun and not need it than to need it and not have it.<br />guns do not cause violence Lee.<br />65 millon Americans own 300300 million + guns.<br />If guns were the problem, eveeyone would be dead.<br />KeithAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
