Mukund’s adventures

I read some very disturbing stuff today. I saw this website dedicated to Kalashnikov, inventor of the dreaded AK-47 assault rifle, used by many armies and many many terrorists around the world. The site praises the inventor, and describes how the Soviet army decorated him with numerous medals. It has information on a number of “modifications” and links to other gun-based websites. I don’t understand the purpose of guns. All invention may be deemed good, but weapons of destruction are not. What good is a gun for, except for causing hurt and death? I don’t understand how the inventor of a weapon which kills life can feel right about it, and accept medals for it. Do you know why the Nobel prizes are given? The site proudly states “More than 50 armies have Kalashnikov’s weapons in their arsenals.” What good is it? Death to the receiver of the bullets, pain and anguish to his family, and mental agony for even the person who pulled the trigger. This world needs peace and love to survive. Guns are bad. All guns are bad. Throw them away.
