Fifteen years later, RAWtools set up their anvil in the city and invited parents who had lost children to gun violence to beat on the barrel of a handgun (right) that had been removed from the streets. As tears streamed down her face, Ryans said slowly and forcefully, pounding the red-hot metal after every word, “This – is – for – my – son.” Martin says, “It really helped her release in a physical way a lot of the anguish that she dealt with. It helped us see what he meant to her, but also that fifteen years removed from the incident, there was still deep, deep pain.” Martin finds that women, especially mothers, are leading the movement to end gun violence: “They want to heal the world.” The tool, with a small hoe on one side and a two-prong tilling fork on the other, has been used to plant flowers for victims of gun violence in the Philadelphia area.  ■
