This week's video features Peter Lems, AFSC's Program Director for Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran, talking about something a little closer to home: handguns.
Peter reminds us that part of making a peaceful world is taking away the things that make people feel threatened. That applies not only to safety in our homes, and on the streets of our neighborhoods, but also to the world at large. While we may feel threatened by violence close to home, in other parts of the world people feel threatened by our nation's ability to inflict violence on them from afar.
None of us are truly safe until everyone is safe.
If you have thoughts about peace, safety, or handguns, please let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
