• For the record

   
  Seriously? This whole GUN thing is helping flush out the crazies in the media and FB. Thankful in many ways because it reassures me that I as odd as I might seem to some, for being a kooky-artist type-blah blah blah-I'm very educated, compassionate and still have two feet firmly planted in reality... (UGH!)
  
  That being said, I feel that guns give people a reason to use them instead of solving problems another way. Too easy. Look at the rates of suicide when there is a gun in the house... "Pulling a trigger is faster than making a noose or overdosing.Hanging and poisoning also give an opportunity for a person to backout of the decision"- Link

  I do not and will not change my stance. Guns are the problem with so many things in this country & world. Fear and hatred of the government go hand in hand. Too many people fantasizing about situations that will not happen. False Equivalence!

  I never had to grew up with guns AND I KNOW that I will NEVER need to use them because the statistics prove that is not going to happen to me in my lifetime-Even living in crazy Baltimore. It just isn't. What could happen is I could die from having one in my house. I would be happy if all the guns just disappeared. I am happy to turn mine in! Good effing riddance...

  Now back to make art making and career that doesn't involve guns.
