Why did you ask if you already had the answer, or had it close at hand?


To see if you had a clue and you didn't.

Have you all,noticed,that 95% of mass shootings occur,NOT,by the gun owner,But,by their children? my solution is kinda simple,REQUIRE,that ALL guns,have a trigger lock,AND,have to be stored in a gun safe.AND,the kids have NO ACCESS to guns,or keys to trigger locks and safes,without parential permission,Have the police make spot checks,for compliance.If not complied with,take guns UNTIL trigger locks and a safe is bought, have parents,BE PARENTS,if your children are being bullied in school,take steps to find out WHY. IF,you cant resolve the bullying problem,either,change schools for them,or,home school them. look at what your children,are doing on the computer,get passwords from children,if the kids say "no way" remove the computer and I phone. Youre the parents,,,BE PARENTS.We HAVE to stop the easy access,of kids to OUR GUNS. Guns locked up,do not k**l people,EASY access to our guns,is what gets people k**led.

I’ve noticed that, too. And I’ve also wondered why parents who own guns don’t lock them up. That should be step one. Thank you for your posting.

You know it seems that you are making a blanket statement, though I am not anti gun, just anti stupidity.


Maybe I am without realizing it.
How do we proceed without us doing that?

How do you know I didnt, Bob? I can play these silly games as good, if not better than you. I just don't see the point. You, evidently, seem to get some entertainment out of it, so I'm willing to indulge you here, and there since you're a lonely, bored, old dude.

I have leftovers from yesterday. Ribs, and smoked meatloaf. Swing on by. Oh! And if you like lime in your C****a, you better grab a couple on the way. My wife dropped the ball on not letting me drop the ball at the store yesterday. So it's her fault!

I never had smoked meatloaf, sounds good, but too far to travel for leftovers.

Guns have a hardcore attraction for kids, like a magnet. My dad had a 1911 .45 that I couldn't leave alone, and I will admit to three close calls as a kid where other kids almost got shot by accidental discharges. We used .22's and shotguns for hunting as a kid, but some guns like older semi automatics are not nearly as easy to safely handle and use. My dad kept it locked, but quite frankly that lock might as well not been there for all the good it did keeping me out.

Gun security laws make sense, and you are free to disregard them if you truly believe your kid would never touch your guns...but if they do you then deserve to be put in jail because it's not just your kids you endanger, but other people's kids who play with yours.

I'd love to have a statistic on every parent who has lost a kid to gun deaths by their own guns. every one I personally know of will never have a gun in the house again. It's a shame to have to lose a kid when a law requiring security would have saved that life.

A burglary takes place about every eighteen seconds in the United States. That adds up to nearly 200 per hour, and approximately 4,800 every day. There are 1.03 million home invasions every year, most of which occur between 10:00am and 3:00pm. 30% of burglars enter a home through an unlocked door or window, and 34% come through the front door. Invaders usually go to the master bedroom first, and someone is home in 3 out 10 invasions. Y'all want to take the chance?

I fired my first shot when I was 5 years old, when I was 7, my dad gave me my first gun, a Winchester 22LR semi-automatic rifle. In fact, most of the kids my age had guns or were allowed to carry them. We even bought our own ammo with our allowances. Many times, a bunch of us would head off with our guns on foot or horseback, no adults along, and we all came home without a scratch. We were even allowed to take our guns to school and store them in an unlocked coat locker so we could go rabbit hunting or shooting after school.

Our parents were our teachers, they were our gun safety experts who taught us everything we needed to know to shoot safely. All those years in the wilderness with as many as 10 armed kids and never once was anyone wounded or k**led.

Stop it, republicans and the NRA have fought every gun law including common sense ones...democrats fault is BS
That is not true. Neither the Republicans, the NRA or gun owners have ever fought common sense gun laws, most of which are already on the books. We do, however, stridently oppose the PC so-called gun control laws that put unreasonably severe restrictions on gun ownership, most of these are beyond ridiculous and do nothing to reduce violent gun crimes.

You might as well be talking to a fence post.

It's pretty simple Bob. If I leave my gun on the nightstand, and one of my grandkids takes it, and k**ls someone, or even discharges it, I should be prosecuted for negligence.
This isn't rocket surgery Bob!


Just as simple as that!

NRA hijacks first bipartisan gun bill in years. Now it's too dangerous to pass.

'Fix NICS' would strengthen our gun laws. 'Concealed Carry Reciprocity' would gut them. We'll all be less safe if the gun lobby gets its way.
