on way home...

guns readied for destruction

I am on my way home from a quick family reunion in Iowa. Readers might be interested in the experience in Australia as described by Richard Bazeley:

"In the 18 years before the 1996 reforms, Australia suffered 13 gun massacres - each with more than four victims - causing a total of 102 deaths. There has not been a single massacre in that category since 1996."

Let's compare this with the US, where opposition to gun control is strong, and folks are frightened that the government will enact reform. In Australia people voluntarily turned in guns in an effort to build a safer society in which children could live without fear.

Make, fix, create, and assist others to learn likewise.
