*Bad guy breaks into house*

Stop mr bad guy I have to go open my safe so I can defend myself.

The level of stupid on this forum has reached an all-time high. I think I'll take a break. After the gun grabbers don't get their way, because nothing will pass the House, maybe people will return to normal.

I have much experience with guns. I don't own them anymore: I don't kill things for food anymore and I'm not scared of my neighbours and my government. I make no judgements on hunters and support their right to own a hunting rifle or a shotgun (in some cases a sidearm as well). I have a problem with kooks thinking they need military grade weapons to ward of the imminent threat of the government seeking tyrannical power.

The commonly accepted practice of storing firearms is the gun is locked up and so is the ammunition- in two different locations. The reason for the accidents we hear is that the responsible gun owners have shrugged their responsibilities and like this scenario... little kids get ahold of loaded weapons lying around and kill each other with them.

Unsung... it sounds as if you think your country is at war and that you need guns loaded, on your hip, and mounted facing the front door. And you talk about people being stupid? Come home from the fair. Your nonsense has gone too far. Do everyone a favour and take that break you speak of.

that's the whole hypocrisy of it all. people keep touting themselves as responsible gun owners; "don't punish the law abiding and responsible". Well, if you have your gun sitting by your night stand, and you have kids, or even anyone else in the house, or even a fucking dog (don't laugh, try google), you aren't being very responsible, are you?

if you live alone, then I have no issue with you leaving your gun lying around so you can accidentally shoot yourself at your leisure.

nice one.

Kinda like comparing deaths via guns to deaths via falling down a garbage chute.

No one is saying take all guns away, and I agree with you that the parents were extremely negligent in this case and many others. But part of the reason they are so complacent about guns is this countries crazy attitude about them and the fact that we think we need them to protect ourselves. It's crazy.

That's ok, I have thick skin, just not a lot of patience on some things. Things like people deciding for me what's best for me. There's too much of that here.

No offense man, but I dont think people are trying to decide what's best for you. Maybe you're taking it too personally... I think people (most) who are anti-gun on here are trying to do what's best for a collective. And they have safety and good intentions (usually) on their minds. It's not an oppression thing.

I do take my RIGHTS very personal. Tell me how many more laws would be needed to stop the Conn. shooting? He broke about ten before ever taking that first shot in that school.

More laws are not the answer.

I guess you'll never get the point. It's not JUST about mass shootings. It's about accountability and responsibility across the board.

Some of you have no clue what you re talking about. This happened in New Jersey which happens to have some of the toughest gun laws in the United States. You need to get fingerprinted and get a background check in order to buy a BB gun. This accident happened because of dumb ass parents. I have four kids and each one of my guns is locked up. One person has the key, me.
It s up to people to be responsible and make wise decisions. Unfortunately we have a very small minority that ruins it for the rest of us. But please don't make the arguement that so called assault weapons have to be banned because one kid accidentally shot another kid with a .22.
And stop bashing the NRA, they stand by their beliefs very much like pro choice people and citizens for gay marriage.

I can appreciate everything you say, except this. If you dont agree with something like the NRA and their practices, you should voice your opinion. And sorry, the NRA deserves a lot of their subsequent criticism.
