After reading a few other threads, I noticed some trends that I would like to comment on. Without actually calling anyone out, a few thoughts crossed my mind that I would like to share.
First, for those of you who say, "My kids know what guns are and what they can do, and know better to touch them."
Really? You are willing to bet a human life on the obedience of a child? Your child has never ever been disobedient to you? I have a lot to learn from you then. I don't care how responsible your child is, or how much they know or are afraid about firearms. They are called children for a reason and unsupervised have no business have access to a firearm.... PERIOD!
For those of your who choose to hide your gun as apposed to locking it up some how.
I am sometimes the biggest duck in this pond with you. But I once read a cartoon strip (probably by an anti-gun group) that said something to the affects of.... I hid my gun so well it took little Tommy 4 years before he found it. Just food for thought, my daughter is almost 3, and is already pushing chairs around the kitchen so she can "help" us with tasks. I am now moving into the "holstered or locked" phase. He life is just too important.
I'm sorry if you take this thread as an attack at you, but if you do, then your probably guilty of being either lazy, ignorant, or arrogant. But don't worry, a lot of us swim in that pond too!
