“I wish all guns with their belongings and everything could be sent to hell, which is the proper place for their exhibit and use.”–Alfred Nobel
I’m indebted to Brother David Steindl-Rast once again for this information. Brother David’s Gratefulness.org always has interesting information that makes me glad to be alive.
