Private citizens in the United States own upwards of 310 million firearms.
And the scary part, almost one in 10 Americans has a history of impulsive and angry behavior and ready access to guns, new research indicates.
That means there are 30 million firearms in the hands of angry and impulsive Americans!
(Think Columbine, Sandy Hook Elementary, Aurora shooting)
Just imagine ticking them off on the road or in a line or walking in their yard on a bad day.
And if you think these are just statistics, dig this, more than 306,000 people have died in a domestic setting as the result of a gunshot, whether homicide, suicide or accident, over the last 10 years
Where did the commonsense disappear:
Can’t we all agree on a basic notion that people who are dangerous shouldn’t have access to guns?

By training, I am a American Board Certified Pediatrician. But in my younger years I grew up with natural alternatives. As a mom I have tried to incorporate both for my kids and it has worked wonders. And finally, as I am studying natural & alternative medicines, I realize the beauty and wisdom of living closer to earth. Hence in my practice I integrate both...for acute ailments I follow American Academy of Pediatrics recommendation but for simple and/or chronic conditions I prefer natural alternatives.
In western training we were raised to think that "health is the absence of symptoms and problems". But eastern sensibilities has educated me that "Health is state that allows one to use the full capabilities of their body, mind and intellect. Therefore, healthy living is a balanced state of well being: physically, mentally, socially and spiritually." This implies that healing is not a "one-pill-fits-all", but a personalized experience.
