[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you hide firearms from children and say "don't touch", they will instinctively want to "play" with them; they will not know how to do it safely and danger ensues.

Conversely, if you teach your children how to safely handle firearms, they will not be curious. If you teach them how to make sure they are safe and clear, they will do that each time they see one. If you take them shooting, it will take away the mystery.  If you lock your firearms, they will not be able to "play" with them. Education will solve these problems easier than banning a Constitutional right.

Notice how the vast majority of gun-related deaths are in the cities that already have strict bans and regulations? Yet the left thinks bans work? How are bans working out for everything else?   [/quote]

Toddlers had shot 23 people in 2016 in the US as of May 1.  Almost certainly more by now, and most of those shootings happened in Georgia, Texas, and Missouri.  Not only are those gun-friendly places, but they speak to how difficult it is to educate toddlers (defined here as 1 - 3 year olds) about gun safety.

It would be great if more education = fewer deaths, but it ignores the shocking levels of accidental gun deaths and injuries by those too young to listen to directions. [/quote]
