I got rid of my guns for the immediate practical reason of increasing my American family's safety...
There are stories I won't tell now, of those whose lives stopped because of a gun. Of those whose timelines almost forked badly. Not yet.
Let's focus on how guns are a radicalization vector.
A long op. A tool to lead us to a strange and ugly place.
We are being taught to kill each other.
To be ready to.
To consider it reasonable to do so.
Who teaches us that?
Why?
“Pete would try to drink my coffee in the mornings. He would stick his nose in my cup.” That memory became the first “cartoon” image of Pete as the artist (James Dean) imagined that Pete could hold a coffee cup in his paw.

#GardenDesign work here in the UK has really dropped off the cliff.
I have years of experience designing #Wildlife & #FoodForest gardens, with #NativePlants & #WildFlowers.
Remote design & consultancy is a speciality, as I live in #WestWales. I use videos, satellite & photos to create CAD plans which I share with the client online, together with a plant spreadsheet.
I also provide online workshops, courses & talks.
Any boosts gratefully received, thank you 🙏

Over 95% of mass shootings are carried out by men.
One thing is VERY clear; the modern toxic masculinity movement is radicalizing men into terrorists.
