FAIRFAX, VAAs part of its ongoing efforts to reduce the number of accidental deaths from firearms, the National Rifle Association issued a recommendation Wednesday urging gun owners to secure their children in a locked safe at all times. Because responsible gun ownership begins with proper storage, we advise you to keep your children in a tamper-proof safe, especially when they have friends over and any time you are out of the home, wrote executive vice president Wayne LaPierre in a bulletin to the organizations members, adding that it was not enough to simply place ones children in a drawer, atop a high shelf, or underneath a bed, as stowing kids in such locations was neither a secure nor foolproof way of preventing a firearm accident from occurring. We recognize that purchasing a steel-reinforced vault that can fit every one of your children comes at a premium, but can you really put a price on the safety of your family? LaPierre went on to say that gun owners could easily add an extra layer of security and further peace of mind by keeping a separate lock on each child as well.

This is the only way. "can you really put a price on the safety of your family?"

Anyone can walk around and bear children in the open, with no background check or even licensing. It's simply dangerous!

Gun control just means having good aim to not miss your target.
