https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...eekly-basis-this-year/?utm_term=.1aa0775fd98aIt is amazing that my entire generation grew up with guns in the house. It just wasn't a big deal - every post-WWII, Korea, or Vietnam vet had one or more stuck away somewhere. And imagine, we weren't killing ourselves or shooting up schools.
It's not the guns. They don't do anything but just sit there until someone with an agenda decides to act.
IndeedBlessed is the mind too small for doubt.
Paywall.
Lack of respect towards weapons which leads to them being left loaded were children can easily find them, instead of them being stored safely and without ammunition.Have any thoughts of your own? Why weren't toddlers shooting someone every week in 1950 or 1960 or 1970, when there were guns in every home?
Oh my goodness I got an agree from the chickenTrigger locks are free at every Sheriff's office and I suggest every one with kids use them.
Sadly too many people think that their children would never do anything like that.Trigger locks are free at every Sheriff's office and I suggest every one with kids use them.
Well kids now days do not realize what guns are for. I was raised with them and saw first hand what we done with them. Plus I was afraid of the spanking I knew I would get if I touched one. :]Sadly too many people think that their children would never do anything like that.
Now a days most of the adult population have no experience with guns and they aren't expected to get any before they buy a gun.Well kids now days do not realize what guns are for.

I think that someone should have to get as much training to buy a gun as he has to buy a car.Now a days most of the adult population have no experience with guns and they aren't expected to get any before they buy a gun.
I think paranoia and action movies play a big part, too. Many gun owners play this fantasy in their head when someone invades their home and they go Rambo on them, but in the end the stashed away revolver hurts nobody but their own family.I agree, allot more education should be put out there for gun owners to be responsible.
It should be a felony to leave a loaded firearm somewhere unlocked where a child can get hold of it.
Sadly, allot of accidents occur due to just plain old laziness, or I guess it could be stupidity.
No how is it freedom? The design has largely been taken up by people in nations with tight gun control and successfully low murder rates . The person uploading it is only doing it to circumvent their own law. So while a smug American has allowed distribution, and while he may think himself clever, he has facilitated the breaking of laws in other countries. If Americans want to go shooting people with guns then fine - knock yourselves out if that's what you think freedom is.It's called freedom.
Either we can or we can't trust ourselves... I think we can.

Certainly you can find cases where someone defends his home with a handgun, but for each of these stories there is a dozen where someone is hurt because of sucidial impulses, domestic disagreements or accidents.
I know! They could never be used for something useful like defending one's self or family. Leave that to the police who are only minutes away when seconds count.
