And for those who advocate gun access, I agree with you. But don't you think we should combine that with a push for more gun education?<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>
YES, more education would be a great way to work on this problem. I personally started this with my family first.
Even if someone chooses NOT to have a gun, EVERYONE should know how to handle one safely, even if they don't plan to use one. You never know when you might encounter one, and need to handle it safely even if only to unload it without shooting your foot off.
It's like learning to handle a kitchen knife. As a child parents teach us to be careful when cutting up vegetables and when washing them in the dishwater. It is easy to cut yourself if you don't THINK AHEAD. |
