Let us stop making guns = Let try to make peace around the world.

Let stop killing each other and let us help each other.

By helping each other, the world will be better.

We do have enough resources for everyone to live in a better life. Don't be selfish!

Everything that you own are passenger and you are also the passenger in the world!
