ERIDICATE ARMS
TOTAL DISARMAMENT
Yesterday, December 16th,
I went to church to pray for the kids and adults of Sandy Hook Elementary
School in Newtown. I went to church to see if religion had a solution for the
unprovoked deadly violence carried out at Newtown. I left church achieving only one goal -
prayers for the dead. Was I secure while in church? Are we secured anywhere
with our present gun laws? I then I came
home. I watched President Obama’s speech on television. Upon his exit from the
stage, the tight security measures designed to protect him were in and of
themselves a reminder of how our inadequate gun laws make even the most
good-natured interactions insecure. Even in the face of this tragedy and the
peaceful nature of the President’s visit, there was a sense of insecurity as he
exited. I have come to the conclusion total disarmament in every nation is a
viable solution.
The art that accompanies this blog is a painting I did in 1993
during the war in Bosnia and
Herzegovina.
The Sculptor was by Carl Fredrik Reutersward. Gift of Luxembourg 1988.
