Guns should not be kept in houses where children are present

[USA4ME]

Hugabear is a prime example of what happens to children when parents leave the liquor cabinet unlocked.

Huggybearbear shouldn't be allowed to be anywhere, where children are present.
Mine learned to shoot at a very young age.
Now, they're teaching my grandkids.

Guns should not be kept in houses where children are present

Of course not!  They should learn all about firearms from leftist Hollyweird actors, not their parents!   

I don't care how careful you are, we are all human, and we all make careless mistakes from time to time. Whether it's finding a set of keys, carelessly leaving the gun unlocked, or just sheer brute force, kids/teenagers manage to get ahold of guns all the time.

Funny, I found that teaching my children safety, proper shooting, how to safe and clear weapons, what firearms would do to another human being, and a healthy dose of fear if they ever attempted to take a firearm out of my house has been a better deterrent to them acting like idiots.  Then again, my children are raised with standards and discipline...

Perhaps gun ranges, National Guard armories, etc could set up a system whereby a gun owner could store their firearms and access them when they want to go hunting, target shooting, etc. Guns would be much safer from theft in these places, as these places tend to have very good security systems. You wouldn't have to worry about your kids somehow getting ahold of your gun and shooting themselves or someone else. You don't have to worry about little Johnny finding your gun and taking it to school for show-and-tell with his friends.

Yeah, because armory thefts never happen, do they, DUmbass?

As far as home defense goes, if you have children in your house, you stand a much better chance of your kids getting ahold of your gun than you do some intruder breaking in.

Considering my children that are over the age of 13 are very good shots and know where the guns are, I would say the idiot breaking into my home would have all the guns he could ever want - as long as he didn't mind staring down the barrel of them. 

Same thing would go for households with a resident who is mentally unstable, such as Adam Lanza. If you know that someone in your house is mentally unstable, you should NOT be keeping guns there.

Having an uninstitutionalized, mentally unstable person in my home would be cause for me to wear a sidearm pretty much all day long.

Anyone with an avatar of Che has absolutly no standing to talk about gun control.

You have to have an IQ above pi to understand the irony. Hence why Hugafag will never understand it.

[DumbAss Tanker]

Well hugabear has conviced me.


Hugabear should not breed because S/h/it is to irresponsible to own anything that could ever hurt a child. I would allow S/h/it to have a child if S/h/it would volunteer to create and live in a Nerf world with nothing in it to harm a child. BUT then I took into account the choking hazards of Nerf and sorry hugabear, you breeding can just not be allowed. Sorry.

Not much chance of that, "Bear" is homo lingo for big fat hairy queers.

What an opportunity for obama to just close the armory, with all of the guns inside, denying you your gun. Confiscation without the door to door search.

You have to love how dumb ass wants the National Guard to store privately owned weapons in their buildings which would require someone to be there on weekend and holidays. And why would anyone them do that without pay and the other cost that would go with it. And what about the Holidays? The Guard gets them off just like any other Government employees and if your talking about making hem work then just keep adding to the cost of making it work and the taxes that will need to cover it. Oh and BTW it's the State taxes that will go up not the Federal taxes.

When my Nana was growing up boys would even bring their rifles to school so they could go hunting on the way home from school. They had to leave them in the back of the classroom with their coats but interestingly enough there weren't any school shootings. Of course, they didn't have "high capacity magazines" (except maybe Boy's Life) so there's that...

But, Hugabutt, answer me this question, and you can answer over there since not one of you will have the balls to come over here and participate in this conversation. I live out in the country. The railroad tracks are so close to my house I could reach out and touch the train (freight train) when it goes by. It goes by twice a day. There have been times when some trashy looking guy has jumped off the train and tried to meander down my driveway. The odds of a county Sheriff being close enough to my house to get here in time to help me when I dial 911 are slim to none. Were I to decide your beyond stupid, utterly asinine "belief" was a flash of brilliance and got rid of my guns because my grandchildren & nieces & nephews come and visit who would protect them were some crazed idiot were try something when they're here?

So far, walking outside with a couple of dogs and a shotgun gets them off my property quite promptly. What the hell would you suggest I do instead, come outside flashing a filet knife?

Yeah...one of the English kings, in the 1600s, I believe, did that with all the gold.  Once it was all locked up for 'Safekeeping' it was seized.

When I was a kid, we never had alcohol in the house.

That would save a lot more lives.

We never had alcohol in the house either nor did we have a single unloaded gun.  The rack was right by the back door leading to the barn and each and every gun in it was loaded. That was one of the very first things I remember learning as a child.  Do not touch the guns.  We lived on a farm where it was often necessary to use one on a moment's notice.  Foxes and hen houses, deer and corn, rats and feed bins. While there may not have been a round in the chamber there were rounds in the magazine ready to go.  The  .22 pistol was an exception but it only had rat shot.

I wonder; if I sent video of my son handling the weapons in my home - and being able to do it simply by ASKING to do so - to HugaBoy, would he have a heart attack and die of apoplexy?

Amazing how much safer a child is around firearms when the firearms AREN'T "forbidden fruit", ain't it DUmbasses?

Interesting that you mention that part.
About a decade ago, there were some rather nasty murders taking place in Texas.
Turns out the dirtbag was riding the rails.  Without naddining, I want to say Rodriguez or something, as the name.

Excellent point. I was never allowed a loaded gun in the house, but I could shoot outdoors all I wanted as long as Dad was with me.

And when we were little, we were allowed unlimited playing with matches, as long as an adult was with us. I don't recall ever having much desire to play with matches.

Richard Ramirez. He was also called the Night Stalker (though there was another Night Stalker before him). Serial killers are an interesting (if sick & twisted) breed. I followed his case because he was so warped. Then again, I watch Investigation Discovery all the time. In another life I would've loved being a criminal profiler but ended up corraling boys instead.

Ramirez is almost 50.  He's been in jail a long time.

DUmmies shouldn't be kept in houses, only cages. Only available for viewing on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

During this time, "idiot cages" became common in town centers to "keep people with disabilities out of trouble." They may have served as entertainment for townspeople.

Mr Badguy would you mind waiting for a few minutes before you rape/kill me so I can pop round to the NG armory and get my gun to shoot/detain you? Yes I have called the police but I should be back long before they get here.

No, the 'Railroad Killer' was a completely different, more recent guy.  His name was Resendez, from what I found on line he was executed in 2006.  The Night Stalker had nothing to do with hopping freights.
