The shit never gets better only worse....Can those who site statistics finally come up with a number based on percentages which illustrates the number of legal unsafe gun owners in the country... This includes people who regularly get loaded on drugs and alcohol but own guns legally....And the ones who get loaded once in awhile and forget to take the gun out of the car.... Lets get some numbers!!!

(3,194 posts)If people would just train their children how to use a gun, starting when they're babies, things like this would happen less frequently.
Besides, under the 2nd amendment, this 3 year old does have the right to bear arms. Any effort to abridge that right, is an attempt by the government to take away our freedoms.

(23,156 posts)Meanwhile toddlers shoot babies. Kids shoot other kids. Adults shoot . . . well I think you get the idea.
And the most recent mass murder by gun was in Chicago. Guy shot and killed 5, or was it 6 people?
But apparently it's okay. It's just a trivial price to pay so that anyone at all can own a gun.
I can only hope it never occurs to someone I know. Wait, it has.

(7,898 posts)If a child ever gets a hold of a gun of yours, you should never ever be allowed to own a gun again.

(8,515 posts)But how about being forced to turn your gun in for an extended period of time, if you are convicted of a 2nd D.U.I. You certainly get your license suspended if you get 2 D.U.I.s within a specific time frame...

(32,677 posts)leaving guns around children? And if the plan is to keep it bedside at night and lock it up in the morning, don't even kid yourself! It only takes ONE memory lapse for a tragedy to occur! This is why guns are nearly useless when it comes to home defense. Keeping it nearby can lead to unintended tragedies; keeping it locked up means it won't be there if it's actually needed.
