A firearms instructor urged parents to store guns in their kids’ bedrooms as a safety precaution during the National Rifle Association’s annual meeting in Louisville, Kentucky, Think Progress reported Monday.

“Why would you consider staging a firearm inside a child’s room?” Rob Pincus, owner of firearm instruction company I.C.E. training, reportedly asked the audience during a seminar on “home defense concepts.”

“It’s the first place I’m going to go!" he continued, as quoted by Think Progress. "As I’ve said…many times, if your kid is going to break into the safe just because it’s in their room, you have a parenting issue, not a home defense issue.”...

He reportedly added that keeping firearms hidden, instead of locked or secured in a safe, was an appropriate mode of storage.

2. The kids would never find them.

Children never look where they're told not to look.

11. Well that, and Dad ordering them very sternly not to handle his guns

For some reason it never quite occurs to these rugged individualists that their kids might be just as stubbornly resistant to authority figures as they are, and that one day Little Marblehead is going to say to himself, "Keep away from Daddy's guns, huh? I'll show you, old man!"

5. I can't even imagine what The Onion could come up with to parody this.

It's already so far beyond what any rational person might say.

7. I'm just waiting for the day....

....they say law enforcement isn't needed and we should return to the ways of the wild west where "posse" and vigilantism justice should be the norm.

[Initech]

8. Oh. Won't someone please. Think of the children.

[smirkymonkey]

9. What could possibly go wrong?

God, these people are just too stupid to live.

10. Don't they know guns kill people?
