After Sandy Hook I’ve found the following image posted by people and friends on the net and Facebook.  I think is very relevant for this issue so I’ve decided to re-publish it on my own blog.

I must say that I fully agree that people must be able to defend themselves but I seriously doubt that an “gun race” at social level can make use overall any more safe on long term. Also I believe that not anyone must have access to guns which were designed for military use.

I believe this is the first step people need to take when dealing with guns. Back in Romania when I was a child my father owned an hunting rifle, the ones you’ll need to manufacture your own rounds. However he kept it in a locked metallic box at all times and trained me well before I could even touch it. And I would never be able to shut it without he being there. After years in the 9 months of army training (mandatory in Romania at that time for all students, boys or girls) we were fully trained in handling guns and assault rifles (AK47).
Currently I do not own a gun and I have no intention to own one any time soon.
