It won’t matter. I could post plenty of well researched studies, would just go in one ear and out the other.
Because you cannot post any well researched studies. If you can, post them.

I am not wrong, but lets remember what you said, "facts"....so lets see them.
You were the one that was complaining about a rational conversation, then when asked to provide your facts....you went "poof" like a fart in the wind...provide the facts....lets look at them, and if you are correct, I'll say that....
And, again, the problem is this will never happen. Never ever.
Stupid people do not teach their kids a lot, other than how to be stupid. So either accept the fact that there is always going to be collateral damage for idiocy and guns or make an IQ quiz part of a background check, and pray it isn't your family member who is shot by the mentally ill or the mentally challenged, or little kids.
Sure, as long as we do it for driving, having a phone, etc...the list goes on a lot farther than just not teaching a kid what not to do with a gun....
I worry far more about my son being killed by someone texting than I do with a gun....
But you won't see any outrage oveer this despite them harming far more children than guns!
Exactly....

let me g you one further then, what is the point of teaching children anything? you gun grabbers keep complaining that people need to learn gun safety, and i agree. but we need to start early when children are most capable of learning. we start them young with learning languages, how to read, how to write, etc. we teach them other safety things like look both ways before crossing the street. so what is wring with also teaching children about gun safety at a young age? is it supposed to be some mystical learning event that somehow children are not capable of learning until they are at some age you decide?
why cant you take the child out and teach them what a gun can do, and why they need to leave them alone unless under adult supervision?
do you teach your children not to drink the things they find under the sink? you know stuff like drain cleaner, windex, bug spray etc.? this is just another safety item that children need to learn about.
Yes, and I also had child proof locks on those cabinets until they were old enough to know better so that there were no accidents.
My children were taught gun safety, but I also kept my guns secured so that they could not access them.
Well, sure, there's no comparison between 30K+ gun deaths a year and 350 deaths over the span of 11 years. Were those the facts you were referring to?
You do know that your 30k number is 2/3 suicides and the remaining third everything lumped together, justifiable, murder, gang, drug, accident etc..?
Even so, 30k is .0001% rate of incidence! That's a pretty darn good rate!

Too many guns and too many careless people. What is the point in teaching a 4 year old gun safety when you have a parent heading off to a soccer game with a loaded gun in the car laying in easy reach. She isn't the only one, we see this way too often. We need cleaning materials under the sink, we need to cross streets but why does a person need to bring a gun to a soccer game.
