You are right someone could harm my child without a gun but anything that person would use would be less lethal.

We don't live in the old west any longer.
Safety protocols? You are too funny.

All of my guns have multiple safeties.

And other drives can easily hurt you with hurting themselves. They don't even have to touch your vehicle with theirs to cause and accident where you will be injured.

Kitchen knives sure can do a lot of harm, 27 people were killed and over a 100 injured in this attack. Probably should ban knives, for the children and all.

If you had a gun (or anyone other than a uniformed officer) in a school near my child I would be more afraid of what you would do than some unknown threat.
Allowed in MS. Courthouses but the judge can also make his courtroom when in session, gun free. Airport terminals but not past TSA. You have to check it following TSA guidelines if you want to travel with it.

That's right. Violent people aren't dealt with harshly anymore. They are "rehabilitated" and released back on the streets to perpetrate more evil. If they are caught again, the rehabilitation is tried again. Wash, rinse, repeat.

In the old west, if you did something wrong you were given a punishment that would deter you from future wrong doing. If the crime you committed was bad enough, you were executed swiftly.

Are you kidding me? The reason why violent crime rates have dropped so dramatically the last 40 years (the murder rate last year was the lowest in over 100 years) is because over the last 30 or so years we've throw violent criminals in jail at greater rates than ever and then thrown away the key. Our criminal justice system has basically abandoned the idea of rehabilitating violent offenders.

Are they getting out of prison and committing more crimes? Here's a good example - Mass. Parole Board Orders Release of Second Man Convicted of Murder as Teen - Massachusetts news - Boston.com Will you let this man watch your kids? He's rehabilitated now. At age 17, he was convicted of stabbing a man to death. He should have been executed by age 18.

I just don't see an issue with requiring all new gun sales to require the purchaser to take a gun safety course.

What the heck make you think that? Do you REALLY think people have NOT been killed by a car "just because".....

You do realize that "blunt objects" killed more people than rifles and shotguns combined in 2012, right?


Live in the future, not the past, do some research....not what you have been told to say..
