Oh boy!
I was surfing my High Def channels before packing it in tonight and caught a
program called 'Lock & Load'. It was about a family owned gun shop in Colorado and all the cusomers who came in to try out & buy shootin' irons. Couldn't believe it...I bet about 40% of the customers brought their small children in...mostly toddlers. Some of the older (8-10 ) kids were passed what looked like auto assault weapons to play with. Man...talk about a gun culture...a lot of the customers already owned numerous weapons. Up here the cops and a local camera store are giving away Sony point & shoot cameras for each handgun/rifle passed in. After the turned in guns are examined and checked for any history, they are destroyed. |

My own kids went one, at a time, with me at 6. They hunted, with a gun, while, I attended at about 7. At ten they hunted squirrels alone behind the house. Some kids, today, know nothing but tv. It depends on who raised them, the tv, or parents, and where they live etc. At 5 I was killing chickens, by wringing their necks and chores that most Teenagers would whine and cry and not do. I'm not sure what you saw. I won't accuse you of being socialist. We frequently hear hand wringing and the sky is falling from the socialist camp. |

After the turned in guns are examined and checked for any history, they are destroyed. Lets see. Turn in a $500 weapon and get a $50 camera. Good business. For the state. I was raised around firearms. The kids getting accidently killed are most likely from parents who do not acknowledge firearms and the only ones the kids see are on TV and the person getting shot 99 times and getting up. I was taught gun safety from as far back as I can remember. My kids were taught firearms safety. Started shooting small bore rifles and 20 ga shotguns at beercans and clay pidgeons when they were maybe 8 or 9. Neither kid owes guns as they do not desire to, but they do know what to do to keep themselves and the family safe if around a firearm. Education on firearms is missing these days. |

Not being in favor of the proliferation of handguns and their availablity to nutcases does not a socialist make. I endorse your interest in shooting small defenseless animals if that's what floats your boat, or hunting for food. I even endorse your ability to have firearms to defend your life and property. What I don't endorse is no check sales of firearms at uncontrolled gun shows and lax gun shops. What I don't endorse is all the money the NRA has spread around Washington to promote laws that hinder our ability to wrestle with this out-of-control problem. Maybe it's fine for you to watch as people get killed in bunches, I'm not immune to the taking of innocent lives. 4 cops, two of them trainers in SWAT. Armed, trained, getting ready to go on duty, shot dead in cold blood by one asshole. Normally, some dunderhead would be arguing that if ONE of those four people had a gun, the gunman couldn't have killed all four. Guess what? It's a ****ing specious argument that just got proven wrong. The cat is long out of the bag on this problem and I have not a clue what to do. The NRA has pushed the availability so far beyond reason that we're doomed to have to live with the consequences for years to come. Humans can be so ****ing short sighted. I'm not among that lot. |

The gunshop host is a trip, as is his "granny," but in the two episodes I saw, there were some really dangerous moments underway in the shop and on the range. |

FL has a law on the books that makes parents responsible if Jr. takes Dads firearm and shoots Suzy while playing cops and robbers. Too often the law isn't used. I think this has been twisted around where somehow the parents rights are being violated if he/she/they is held responsible for leaving a firearm unsecured and this results in Suzy being shot. . It'm my constitutional and legal right (FL) to own firearms (and I do so responsibly) and it's the other sides right to bitch and moan about it. If I shoot someone it's because they are commiting a life threatening action towards myself or another person. Or they've shown extremely poor judgement by breaking into my house. |
Oh boy!
