Guns should not be kept in houses where children are present


 
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.

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.

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.

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.

Tell you what DUmmy, ban all guns in your own house, the rest of us will make up our minds whether we have guns or not.
How about we make a law saying that every house with a gun inside is required to post a sign on the front door warning people that we have guns, and every house with no guns you post a sign saying "Gun Free Zone". Then after 30 days we will compare notes and see which houses are safer, if you survive that is.

To which I respond, "". I tell her I'll just get more safes to keep them in.

Nope hugabear has decided that you can't have a gun.

3. You do know that safes are not foolproof

Keys can be left around or copied.

Combinations can be found.

Guns can be accidentally left unlocked outside of the safe.

Fact is, there are far too many children who somehow manage to get ahold of guns to take that risk.

You convinced me Hugabear, while we are at it, how many kids get a hold of bleach every year? How many kids get injured with steak knives? How many kids OD on the Percocet that their stoned DUmmy parents left out after the last bender? We need to ban anything in houses that could injure a person in any way.  :mental:




I am convinced that the reason everything has warning labels for stupid people is because of the liberals in the world. The rest of us sane decent folks know not to make toast in the shower.

One thing you'll never hear the primitives calling for is a ban prescription drugs inside of a house where children are present.

I've had guns in my home since before my kids were born. Both are now young adults. One is still living at home and knows how to use my guns and the other is presently killing afghanis with guns I wish I could play with.

I think we're doing just fine without DUmmie intervention, thanks.

Maybe instead of the above it should have been like this:

Hello, I am Hugabear. I've been told that at one time I was smart. That I was productive. That I didn't lick the windows on the short bus. I don't remember that time now. There's a lot a don't remember…I forgot what I don't remember.

One time I was smart, but then I hugged a bear. Bears do not like to be hugged. Bears are dangerous, but we can not ban bears because bears are bears. Do not you just want to hug a bear? But I don't think you should because of something. I forgot.

One time I was smart. Knives hurt people. We are all people. Knives will hurt us because we are people. Knives hate people like bears hate hugs. Perhaps knives could be kept at a knife storage place away from people. But people would have to watch over the knives and knives hurt people. I forgot what I was going to say.

One time I was smart. Your kids are people. If they were at a knife storage place they would be there. A knife could hurt them. Maybe it could. I don't remember…

I was smart one time. I wish I could hug a bear again, but you should not hug a bear. For some reason. If someone is at your house who is unstable you should keep all objects away from them. Why do I not have any objects around me? Oh, I wish I could hug a bear.

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.

Exactly.  About a year ago, some 18-year old dipshit decided he'd break into a neighbor's house and beat the adults to death with a baseball bat.  A couple of years back, a group of teens, just for kicks, broke into a home, knifed a woman to death, and stabbed/cut an 11-year old so badly she lost her leg and is maimed for life.

So yeah, not buying it.  Guns do not have a soul.  Only the person behind it does-or doesn't.
