Pennsylvania School Shooting :(

I wouldn't be surprised by who keeps guns in their houses. I have a pretty good idea who does/who doesn't(of the people I know). I have 4 brothers. None of them hunts, none of them owns a gun. My father doesn't own a gun. None of my friends owns a gun. I wouldn't date someone that owns a gun, nor, would I let that gun into my home.

I just don't remember anyone on the news, after a tragic "accident", saying, "Yeah, the guns were just laying around, bullets right next to them". Seems it is ALWAYS, "Guns were locked up! Kids NEVER touched them before! Bullets were 'hidden'"!

Everyone is different, and has different views on guns. I have a very strong dislike of guns. Very strong. It only got stronger with the addition of Jonah.

I can understand that - I am uncomfortable around guns myself....and who knows how I will feel after having kids myself? I may change my mind entirely.

I will not have a gun in my house. I have shot a gun, years ago, for target practice. I didn't enjoy it and decided then never to own a gun. I think they are not necessary except for hunting. You don't need an AK47 to hunt animals.

I hate guns.

LOL so because we own guns my husband is going to kill me? LOL I don't think so. As for children, Our children will be TAUGHT how to use a gun, what a gun IS and how to properly respect a gun. they will be taught to hunt, they will be taught what a gun can do and they will be taught EVERYTHING on gun safety and they will never EVER use it as a toy. this will be taught to them and imprinted in them from the day they are born. So because of some statistics it means that because we have guns that someone in my house is going to be killed? Like you said, you can use statistics to prove anything.

All I know is my husband will never EVER turn a gun on me or anyone in our house. I would never do it either. Our children will be taught from day one (which makes a BIG difference) about guns and what they are to be used for.

In my opinion, if you cannot USE a gun efficiently then you have no business owning one. A gun is a DEADLY weapon and should NOT be used unless you intend on using it to FATALLY wound someone. Just injuring someone with your gun can be far more dangerous for you.

You may be sick of the argument "people kill people" but that doesn't make it any less true. Like I said, lots of places have banned guns and now all the deaths and violence that took place with guns are NOW taking place with knives. Shall we just all have our hands cut off so that we can't use any tool that could possibly injure someone? That argument is ridiculous. Punish the people that MURDER others, don't punish the inanimate object. That is just silly.

Blaming guns just gives murderers a scape goat and I for one am sick of that bullsh!t.
