I wonder how many people would be willing to sacrifice their own children for their guns. Then again, maybe I'd rather remain ignorant of that: I think it'd frighten me as to how many would.
Just peek at Min's 2nd Amendment thread and you'll get a good idea of the number of idiots that leave their guns laying around, LOADED, so that their 3 year old can pick it up, fire it and have the news report it as an "accidental" death.
Nope. Nothing about being too fucking lazy to keep your guns and ammo separate, and locked away in a gun safe, is accidental. Perhaps if there punishments handed out to those ignorant fucks, it would discourage other ignorant fucks to start doing the right thing. And no - grieving the loss of a child is not punishment enough. The loss never would have occurred had the right thing been done in the first place.
