This morning, I
read another article in the New York Times about soaring gun sales in
the United States. That’s what we’ve been hearing ever since the Newtown
shooting. I’m appalled at the psychology of these people rushing to buy more
weapons. In the U.S., it is too easy for ordinary citizens to obtain weapons
that can kill people. I was even shocked when I heard on the radio that there
were talks about arming school teachers after the Newtown shooting. Again, I
could not comprehend the thinking for this type of “solution” to the problems. Feeling
rather disturbed after reading this article, I started wondering
off to other websites related to guns, and I stumbled upon a blog that featured
a pink AR-15 assault rifle with a Hello Kitty logo on it. AR-15 is the same
model that Adam Lanza used to kill 20 children and 6 adults at a Newton school.
I was compelled
to make this little drawing after I saw that image.
