Why a gun painting?

I had a couple of friends ask me my intent behind my triptych "Training Wheels - "DO GOOD".  These paintings, like my cigarette painting, are really about the fact that we want our kids to do good, yet we give them toy guns from the time they're little.  We sensor our media for nudity, but not violence.  To me, that just doesn't make any sense.  I know we have a mental health issue in our country, but we also have a gun issue.  It's sad that I'm glad I don't have children in school.  Schools should be a safe haven, and we, as adults, should make our actions speak louder than our words.  If we don't want kids desensitized to guns, lets not give them guns, with silencers, as toys.
