[QUOTE="5.56×250, post: 1660312, member: 110162"] Well put, and an all too common sad story. I fear it's not the last time a similar story will play out either. The more people that FEAR guns, the more those accidents will happen . Parents that are afraid of firearms never expose their children to them. The poor kids only have mentors in the form of violent video games and shootum up movies on TV. I dont lock my forearms away unless other families kids come to our house. My kids have been taught to ASK if they can handle one of our firearms. I NEVER EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE leave a loaded chamber in one of my firearm, EVER. Loaded clips in a couple, yes. Those are defensive weapons that are kept out of sight, but convenient FOR ME to get to if needed. No one can walk in my home, pick up a firearm , pull the trigger, and have it go boom . But back to the point, my kids grew up respecting all firearms , they have never had firearms kept from them, firearms hold no mystery for them and they always ask before they touch. It should be required that every home that holds a firearm should have to have that firearm shot in the presence of the children that live in that house . They should also be taught firearm safety as a requirement to have a firearm under the same roof. As gun people, I know we all do that anyway. It's just the people that buy a gun because they are scared or inherit firearms and just throw them in a dresser drawer or under a matress , loaded, that need this requirement pushed on them.
