[QUOTE="AlongCameJones, post: 3686848, member: 47875"] Could anybody here hang a loaded and un-padlocked rifle or shotgun above the front door with minors living in the home and have no fear that something bad would happen? Do any or all of these bad things we hear about on TV regarding children and school shootings/mass shootings happen because these c[I]hildren were not trained in gun safety[/I]? I'm trying to get into the minds of today's American youth to see how differently they tick from the minds of generations past. Should I ask a child shrink these sorts of questions? It's not about guns. It's about why people do bad things with guns. Some antis argue that people do bad things with guns because guns [I]were within the reach of those who shouldn't touch guns[/I]. Their solution is to take guns away from everybody so "bad people can't touch them". Taking guns away from everybody is like trying to cure brain cancer with two aspirin. It doesn't address the issue of [B]bad minds[/B], the root of all troubles, to begin with. [/QUOTE]
