Gun control

[kılıç_mehmet]

On another forum I used to visit, there was a woman who has guns in her house. She hated guns, then married someone who loves them and did that thing some women do when they get married, and forgot her own opinions and took on his. Now she lets her kid and his kids play with them and everything. I think it's awful parenting and called her out on it a few times. They defend their guns by saying that they need them to defend their family if someone breaks in to their home... Yet in a discussion about guns in a house with kids one of them (she and her husband were both members there) said how the guns were locked away somewhere totally separate from the bullets or whatever, which were locked away in another location and how it would take about 10 minutes to get a gun loaded and ready to fire or some shit. Now, while I'm sure this minimises the risk to the kids (although, kids would still get to those guns and the bullets if they wanted to, kids are fucking good at shit like that), if their house had been broken into, how exactly would those guns defend them? It's such bullshit. I don't believe their guns are locked away at all, and when one of their kids get hurt I'm going to have no fucking sympathy for them whatsoever.

Why is it awful parenting to allow kids to play with an unloaded gun?
Its the same as allowing them to play wth toy guns.
And I'm sure they mean their ammo cache is far away, they probably have a few shells or clips somewhere nearby.
I personally don't think that you really care about the child's life at all, but only that he or she is subject ot "militarist patriarchal agenda".
