I may be able to start my first category on grapplingwithguns.com. A lot of what I've been addressing has to do with myth versus reality. This is a difficult area to address in relations to any designed object, much less firearms.
A couple of years ago I took a class at the Dharma Rain Zen center on Nagarjuna's The Fundamental Wisdom of the Middle Way. Nagarjuna walks through hundreds of things, identifying their "emptiness." In this case, emptiness means that, to paraphrase Thich Nhat Hanh, the thing is empty of "separate self." The thing is related and connected to all things. If we were to describe a revolver in Nagarjuna's terms we might ask, "What is a revolver?" We could describe its parts - it has a barrel, a frame, a grip, three or four screws, some springs, a hammer, a cylinder, an extractor, a thingy to stop the calendar so that the bullet is lined up with the barrel, a front and back sight, and, hopefully, a light coating of a high quality gun oil. If we have all of these things we may or may not have a gun. The parts could, as one architectural design student did, be formed into a sculpture in response to a design assignment. (Luckily the instructor didn't freak out when the girl turned in her project.) However, for legal purposes, we may as a society agree that if a person has all of these parts they do in fact have a gun. Imagine the happy felon arrested for illegally having a firearm arguing, "But your honor, it's not a gun, it's a pile of parts!"
Nagarjuna is making the point that in the universal sense, any object is nothing special - it is both it's universal sense (parts - minerals, metals, the heat and energy expended to create the form) and what we make of it in a conventional sense. A couch is a "couch" because we sit (or lounge) on it instead of use it for kindling in the fireplace. Universally a couch contains many kinds of potential, some good and some bad.
In many of my posts I've pointed out myths and delusions people use in their relationship with weapons, some of mine included. My posts about the Police Explorers show many of my youthful ideas about what policing is like, and I show my own fantasies giving way to realities. The comments made on advertising have pointed to how images can be slippery, implying harm through fantasy.
To me, this is where the discussion about guns gets interesting. People have heated up an ethical issue, but haven't dealt with it well in many instances. I'm looking forward to continued work with this area of the gun debate.
