I could not resist this article by Nickolas Kristoff in N. Y. Times,: IF WE CAN REGULATE AUTOS, WE CAN REGULATE GUNS: "Two of the deadliest mass shootings in modern American history have occurred in the last six weeks. So let’s not just mourn the dead, let’s not just lower flags and make somber speeches. Let’s also learn lessons from these tragedies, so that there can be fewer of them. In particular, I suggest that we try a new approach to reducing gun violence – a public health strategy.
America Has More Guns Than Any Other Country The first step is to understand the scale of the challenge America faces: The U.S. has more than 300 million guns – roughly one for... ...We Have a Model for Regulating Guns: Automobiles Gun enthusiasts often protest: Cars kill about as many people as guns, and we don’t ban them! No, but automobiles are actually a model for the public health approach I’m suggesting. We don’t ban cars, but we work hard to regulate them – and limit access to them – so as to reduce the death toll they cause.

Blessing must arise from within your own mind. It is not something that comes from outside. When the positive qualities of your mind increase and the negativities decrease, that is what blessing means. The Tibetan word for blessing … means transforming into magnificent potential. Therefore, blessing refers to the development of virtuous qualities you did not previously have and the improvement of those good qualities you have already developed. ― Dalai Lama XIV
