Seemingly, several hours a day in America, a person is critically wounded because of gun shots by human beings. Sadly, when a person dies because of emotional provocations, irrational thoughts and senseless behaviors, humanity suffers, and generational life stops.

Yes, Yes, Sad Days in America and More Difficult Deadly Days Yet to Come
By Vietnam Era Veteran

“Pallbearers carry the casket of Amerie Jo Garza to her burial site in Uvalde, Texas on Tuesday. Garza was one of the students killed in last week's shooting at Robb Elementary School.” Tom Jones, Pointer. June 1, 2022 (AP Photo/Jae C. Hong)
The United States Constitution was written after the American Revolutionary War of Independence from Great Britain (April 19, 1775 – September 3, 1783). In 1787, generally and collectively speaking, authors of the United States Constitution were James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, Gouverneur Morris, William Samuel Johnson, James Wilson and Rufus King, et al.
The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, September 25, 1789: Ratified December 15, 1791 protects the individual right to possess, keep and bear arms. Bill of Rights 1791: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
Initially, Amendment II was crafted to allow American citizens to own and bear arms for the sole purpose of defending themselves against the British army if there was a return to continue the war or an invasion from other countries. However, sadly and more deadly today in modern times, many U. S. citizens and political leaders believe that having the right to own and use a military war weapon is protected by their yearly selfish and deliberate misinterpretation of the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution.

Therefore, "Ban or Prohibit ALL Combat Assault Weapons," such as the AR-15 style rifle! This ArmaLite combat rifle (1950s) is responsible for mass killings throughout the United States. Yes, over 15 million AR-15 assault rifles were sold since 2019, according to the National Rifle Association (NRA). --- News-Press

“AR-15: What it is, what it can do, and why so many mass shooters like them. Is an AR-15 an assault rifle? What you need to know about America's most popular rifle: standard 30-round high-capacity magazine.” The gun industry has also made accurate and highly reliable 40-plus rounds or more; before reloading. --- Alain Stephens, The Business of Guns. See semi-automatic AR-15-style weapon, Uvalde, TX.
As a Vietnam War survivor of the Ak-47, I am asking the U. S. government to absolutely ban all war weapons from ownership including the Ak-47 (Avtomat Kalashnikova Automatic Assault rifle: 7.62 x39mm, standard magazine of 30 rounds).
Wikipedia's 2022 List of mass shootings in the United States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_shootings_in_the_United_States
3rd Roll Call Reminder: 535 members of the 117th Congress (435 U. S. House of Representatives and 100 U. S. Senators), U. S. Governors, other elected officials nationwide, the 2022 political candidates and clergy members. We the people of the United States of America need each of you to say NO to Racism, Mass Shootings and Guns! “However, sadly and deadly today in modern times, many U.

America Stop The Gun Violence Now! Emotional Intelligence, Our Brains Please Help! By Dr. Charles L. Singleton
Singleton Writes On Human Emotional Intelligence. Brain Pixel Images included in this informative Article.
“America Stop The Violence Now! Emotional Intelligence, Our Brains Please Help!” By HBCU ECSU Wellness Writer Dr. Charles L. Singleton, A Must Read. “More than 141 people were shot in our hometowns of Oakland, Chicago, and New York City over the July 4th weekend.” Eddie Bocanegra, Erica Ford and Mike McBride, Time Magazine 2021.
“It's not only the high-profile mass shootings that we must work to prevent, but also the daily death-by guns that claims more than 30,000 lives every year.” Prevention Institute 2021
So far statistically speaking, America’s gun violence deaths are rapidly increasing in 2021. “The non profit Gun Violence Archive, which tracks gun incident trends, states that there were 23,000 reported gun violence deaths and 19,000-gun injuries during the first six months of this year, along with more than 300 mass shootings.” CJ Werleman, Byline Times, July 9, 2021

Wait a minute: no more children’s births, birthdays, special graduations; family reunions, and human beings? Therefore, in this article, I will outline a plan for improving emotional intelligence and human survival on this earth. First, the human brain and how it works: Our amazing brain, about 2 percent of the human body, is responsible for all body functions. ---
Brain 101 | National Geographic, Aug 24, 2017: See and Learn below...
Yes, studying and learning from the previous National Geographic video could one day save your life, or prevent you from using a weapon that could kill someone instantly. Thus, you are having to spend the rest of your earthly life imprisoned without hope for the future.
Just imagine, a dungeon-like existence behind prison bars; being locked up and nowhere to go! Yes, wait a minute and think about it.
Step 1: Understanding The Emotional Brain
Readers and lovers of life, please take a moment to watch the emotional human brain video by Sentis Brain Animation Series. See Below...
Step 2: "Fight-or-Flight," An Alarm Reaction, You Decide
The fight-or-flight response described by American physiologist Walter Bradford Cannon of the 1920s is an inborn tendency of human survival: the instinctive ability to stay alive for another moment or day. Cannon concluded that the natural interaction of body chemistry within the human body helps us to survive when confronted with life-threatening situations.
Just Think before you decide to use a weapon. Instead, you walk away from death-threatening circumstances. Note: Stress Response, the fight-flight-or-freeze response, or acute stress response today, is the first stage of Hans Selye's general adaptation syndrome.
In other words, when you are angry, blood rushes to your mouth, hands, and feet; making it easy to say something that you will regret or hurt someone. Absolutely, in your mind just Think Twice; count to 10 and 100 or walk away.
This hyperarousal human response is also described by author and science journalist, Daniel Goleman, in his 1995 book Emotional Intelligence. Goleman writes, “By teaching people to tune in to their emotions with intelligence and to expand their circles of caring, we can transform organizations from the inside out and make a positive difference in our world.”
Walter Bradford Cannon’s Book, The Wisdom of the Body (1932), is a must read for everyone in 2021.
Step 3: Remember, from birth, you have the innate or natural ability to control your emotions; especially anger.
Step 4: “There Is Nothing New Under The Sun” - Ecclesiastes 1:4-11
Recently, according to a local South Carolina retired United Methodist Church pastor, “Ever since the beginning of time and throughout the millenniums, the world in which we live, human behavior is simply repeated over and over; ‘there is nothing new under the sun.’ Really, the only thing that has changed is the inventions of more deadly weapons; with our tongues (verbal weapons of mass destruction), and the thoughtless words we say being the deadliest.” --- Reverend Nathaniel A. 'Drip' Evans, Jr.
Step 5: Therefore remember, "If this is to be then it is up to me!" --- Public Domain
Indeed, it is certainly without doubt, the intellectual human mind (organ) also has the primal frontal cortex (modern brain) and basal ganglia (reptilian brain), which helps us to control innate behavioral patterns of impulsivity: instinctiveness, involuntary movements, and survival.
Examples: a reptilian response includes behavioral characteristics of snakes, lizards, and crocodiles’ behaviors: cold-blooded attacks and violence with no apologies. A better primal thought would be not to act like a carnivorous crocodile by savagely attacking and recklessly shooting another person, or intentionally killing someone because you have the right to carry a gun (Second Amendment of the United States Constitution).
Victimology true story: avoid becoming a perpetrator of a horrific crime or victim of gun violence by doing three survival habits starting with YOU, THE PLACE AND TIME. Improve your emotional intelligence; change the place or setting, use time wisely and be mindful of the company you keep (family members, loved ones, friends and associates, included).
Quite possibly, if an individual is absent from a particular place or time, he or she will certainly not become a perpetrator (shooter) or victim of gun violence. Remember, "Man's inhumanity to man" is often driven by behavioral actions, personal activities, and different problems in our daily lives. --- Robert Burns poem, Man was made to mourn: A Dirge in 1784. Hello everyone, life is precious, please be careful!

Are You Concerned About Police Brutality?
New Anjel App Turns Your Smart Phone Into A Bodycam When Confronted With Police
James A. Samuel, Jr., is a Black veteran who has launched a new app called ANJEL Tech that turns any smartphone into the world’s most powerful bodycam during confrontations with the police. James said that he became tired of raising kids in a world that forces them to understand they’re unsafe in their skin before they even learn their ABCs.
In the past year, the world has been watching Derek Chauvin on trial for murder charges for the killing of George Floyd; seeing news about 2nd Lt. Caron Nazario, who is Black and Latino, getting pulled over by two police officers in Windsor, Virginia; and the killing of Daunte Wright at the hands of police. And these only are a few of too many stories of Black people being racially profiled and fearing for safety when being pulled over by police.
ANJEL Tech is an innovative solution to increase safety and peace of mind in the Black community. The app is secure, mobile, and cloud-based. James says that he created it because he’s passionate about preventing your loved ones from becoming another painful statistic. "Body cams can’t just be for police," he says. "So I created ANJEL Tech to enable a person’s phone to act as a body cam and a lifeline to loved ones to increase safety and accountability."
