Hanging on a wall inside the office of a Southfield church is a sculpture that reads "Peace" made out of the parts of what was once a gun. On a table in front, the Very Rev. Chris Yaw of St. David's Episcopal Church laid out on Good Friday some other pieces of art he recently collected, made from guns collected at buybacks: a cross made of barrels, a necklace fashioned from pieces of a gun grip, and a small plowshare crafted from gun pieces symbolizing the Bible verse about turning swords into plowshares. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
