LOL so we should ban guns so people have to WORK at killing others? As far as I know a stab wound CAN kill just as effectivly as a gun shot wound. A baseball bat to the head can kill just as effectively as a gun shot wound.
As for kids getting into guns. that is parents trying to shelter their kids from guns. curiousity killed the cat. Kids should be taught IMMEDIATELY about gun safety. I can't say I know of too many kids who were taught about gun safety and taught to respect guns that got into the gun cabinet and used it as a toy. so YES it is human error. If you hide it from them and teach them nothing about it how do you expect them to know they shouldn't play with it.... just because you tell them not to? HA. TEACH your children... don't ever let them use guns as a toy.... take away that vantage point immediately. a gun is NEVER a toy.... I don't care if it is plastic or not. A gun is a weapon and they should be taught to respect it. If you are up front and honest with them about guns they are far less likely to misuse it. We will teach our child gun safety from a very young age. People say that is irresponsible but I think parents who try to hide the truth from their kids are more irresponsible. Kids aren't stupid and you shouldn't try to shelter them. I would rather my child learn gun safety from his/her parents than from some punk on the street or some TV show.
Again..... guns don't kill people.... PEOPLE kill people.
but what about kids.... what about old people... what about.... what about. That is YOUR responsibility as a parent and/or as a gun owner. YOU need to learn gun safety... you need to teach gun safety.
The world is full of what if's. If you live your life wondering what if everytime you do something that must be stressful. what if I fall in the shower and hit my head.... that's not enough reason for me to stop showering. What if I go to the store and get hit by another driver? that's not enough reason for me to stop going outside. Life is full of what if's. But we shouldn't all be punished because SOME people are morons... because some people are irresponsible.
Again, if you ban guns you aren't hurting anyone but law abiding citizens. Gun crime will still happen. Criminals are criminals. Don't make excuses for them. they kill people.... the sickest murderers in history never used a gun. Sh1t happens. but I will not have people take away my right to defend myself because they are afraid and misinformed
