[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I bet your boys have a dozen toy guns. Fess up, they do. So why not start changing the world with yourself? No one brought up Ghandi to you yet? Me thinks it's time you looked in the mirror.[/quote]

Nope. Not dozens. I think there's a Nerf gun and a couple mini blasters for Star Wars Lego figures, but that's about it. We are more of a sports house than a gun house. I own three actual guns myself, but they are stored elsewhere, in a location without children. So yeah, I do walk the walk.

Sounds like you yourself are a safe storage house. So why are you so opposed to steps that make other gun houses safe?[/quote]

I am the "guns and ammo in separate safes" guy, not the PP you are replying to. It's not my responsibility to make other houses safe. People have an individual right to own guns, but also an associated individual responsibility to do so in a safe manner. You can't claim the right to own a gun and then pass off the associated responsibility to someone else, especially doing so in such an invasive manner. I am up for mandatory safety classes, however. Heck, tack on the cost of a safety class on top of every fire arm sale. First thing I did before buying my first gun was to attend a 3-hour safety class. I would even be willing to pay additional taxes to fund state-run gun safety classes. Perfect solution: tax individual firearm sales to provide free mandatory gun safety classes. You don't have to register your guns, but when you go buy one, you have to show proof that you've taken a safety class in the past 1/3/5/10 years. [/quote]
