      Guns are not the problem. Man's heart is the problem. Hate, envy, malice, anger, jealousy, treachery and impatience towards each other. If you remove the guns, we will still find other ways and weapons to kill each other.
      We have to learn love, respect, patience, caring, compassion, understanding, non-judgment and tolerance for each other then teach it to our children.

    They do not live long because they are into too many dangerous things. It's happening all over the world, the younger ones are dying before the older people because of their life choices.
