In other words, it isn't the guns. It's the person.

I came from the exact opposite family. I wanted a Winchester rifle so badly I cried. Yet, when the twin towers came down, my father was one of just a handful of people on the planet who advocated forgiveness. Even on DU that notion will get flames. Forgive Bin Laden! How dare you! Yes. And think of where we'd be today. The same goes for raising children. Think of how good a world it would be if children were able to improve their lives instead of working through the emotional trauma like what you went through.

I'm just glad you're here. It means you've transcended a lot.
