IF YOU CAN’T GET RID OF GUNS, GET RID OF CLOTHES…
According to a 2018 National Public Radio article reporting on the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, based solely on its socioeconomic status, the U.S. should be seeing 0.46 deaths per 100,000 people. Instead, its actual rate was almost 10 times higher. According to Wikipedia in a 2017 Small Arms Survey, the U.S. ranked number one for civilian-held firearms at 120.7 per 100 population. According 2019 PEW Research Center article, while a majority of Americans say gun laws should be stricter, most gun owners say the right to own firearms is essential to their own personal sense of freedom and are not inclined to give them up. In addition, according to a 2017 article in the Washington Post reporting on an analysis of a national survey of gun owners published in the American Journal of Public Health at least 3 million Americans carry loaded handguns with them every single day.
What do you do with a population wedded to its own demise by weaponry, that weaponry often being concealed? If you can’t get rid of guns, get rid of clothes. It’s not easy to conceal weaponry unclothed, and when carried, people can choose to avoid such individuals. It’s all about transparency. Personally, I doubt many people would carry guns if they had to be transparent about it. If it didn’t eliminate gun violence, it would, I believe, at least reduce it greatly and, perhaps help make better know how “average” Americans feel about people toting guns. It might help with sexual violence, too.
A little too much to imagine? In my newly released book, THE EDGE OF MADNESS by Raymond Gaynor (my thriller pen name), NewAmerica for various reasons has, at least to great extent, socially embraced nudism, and the repercussions are, well…you’ll have to read it to find out. What makes this work so powerful a read, is that while sometimes just common sense and other times outrageous, everything presented is plausible. That’s what makes it a scary read for some and a great thriller to other readers. My friend and colleague, author William Maltese said after reading it, that it’s “an insightful glimpse of society’s future. It’s not always a pleasant picture. In fact, it’s sometimes bordering on the truly shocking. That said … all of his prophetical premises seem to have logical underpinnings based upon historical facts, including what’s obviously at play within our own Twenty-First Century. It’s a fascinating read, experienced through the eyes of three protagonists from birth, through adolescence, and into maturity. Their journey is often difficult and often dangerous. Never, though, is it boring.” (5/5 Stars).
