A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it

At the Parlor:
---------------------


Jammie was looking out through the window, moist breeze was brushing his hair.
He peeped over the half-closed window, as his dad was driving the car.

Jammie was holding a plastic toy in shape of ice-cream. In a little distance he notices, a brightly decorated parlor: " Joe's Ice-Cream".


Jammie: Daddy - i want that ice-cream.

Jammie's Dad: But dear, you already have one in your hand.

Jammie: No daddy i want the one in the shop, my ice-cream is not good.

Jammie's Mom: We can get him one - you know how he screams for things to happen his way.

Jammie's Dad: okay, we'll go - Forget his screams, i can remember his bites.

He parks the car and the trio, or maybe we can say the duo-and-a-half enter in.
Now Jammie is holding a big ice-cream cone with it's cherry almost sliding for a free-fall.


Jammie's Dad: Hey cool-guy, to whom are you going to let taste the ice-cream first ?

Jammie looks at both the anxious faces.

Jammie: Of course dad, it is for you.

Jammie's Dad is happy and gives Jammie a Hi-5 and taps his head.


At the Home:
---------------------



Jammie is playing with his toy-gun, he hears gun shots - he runs to the living room and stares at the television, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are banging the villains. He watches the scene for few seconds and runs to his Dad. His Dad is putting on shoes for his evening-jog. Jammie looking at his toy-gun and slowly approaches his dad


Jammie: Daddy, i don't like this gun any more, i want the one that you have locked in cup-board.

Jammie's Dad: Junior, that is not for small children, it will hurt someone or even may hurt you. I will get you a new toy-gun, it will look like the one i have.

Jammie: No Daddy, i want only the one in cupboard, i saw the people in TV using it.. I want it, I want it.!![ Jammie Screams}

Jammie's Dad: Okay, Okay - I will give it to you, but tell me first - what will you do with it ?

Jammie: I will shoot the bad guys.

Jammie's Dad:Okay who is the bad guy - you going to shoot first ?

Jammie looks with a twinkle in his eyes and bang comes the answer...

Jammie: Of course Dad, it is you..!!

That was a shadowy reflection of what's going on - in most parts of USofA.

School kids with Guns - But Africa could be far worse : Children in Sierra Leone,Somalia and many other parts of the continent - don't understand what's peace.
