If you have a pool and a gun, your children are 100 times more likely to die from the pool than the gun.

So are parents with pools bad parents?

If guns in America were illegal, you might as well make testicles illegal. Off with the balls!

if you don't keep your guns safely in a house with children you are a bad parent. I would imagine most people with guns take gun safety seriously, I sure do. But if you don't and you have kids, you are a terrible parent.

Yeah, well, that's not what they said.

This from the same people that will force you believe that children raised in a home with a man that thinks he is a woman is totally acceptable and should be praised.

Also the folks that will tell you a child should be able to choose what gender they are at 6 but are way too young to decide what they should be able to eat for dinner.

I have guns, the wife has a gun,my older kids have a gun, hell even the 5 yr old has a bb gun and if I could equip my weimaraner with one, he'd have one as well...

It's just ridiculousness to have this kind of thinking. I was shown how to handle one early on and the same training was applied to my children.. Leftist truly are a stupid self righteous pieces of shite...

Because of my kids my guns are pretty much useless for home defense. Chased a guy off my porch at 1AM with a bat last night because I didn't have time to unlock the case with my rifles and unlock the case with the bolts and ammo and assemble them. There has to be a better way. Anyone have any experience with trigger locks or any suggestions?

Correct, it's like the life jacket rule, you should have one for each person inside the home.

LOL. If you live in the US and do not demonstrate proper firearm usage to your children, you are a bad parent.

Liberals have lost their damn minds.

However, a responsible parent doesnt give their kids access to firearms.


got my first rifle at 11 Remington single shot bolt action 22, got my first pistol colt woodsman automatic 22 when i was 12. when my son turned 11 i gave him the Remington. when he turned 12 he asked about the colt, that colt was my grandad's he traded some furniture for it during the depression and so i decided to keep it. instead i bought him a sweet Taurus nickle plated 22 revolver with a rubberized grips. it's a cool gun looks like a 357.

he's 22 now and he's managed to never kill himself or anybody else for that matter. i'm 56 and i've never killed anybody either.

you can take $15.00 and buy 1000 rounds of 22lr and keep four boys entertained at a gun range for hours. the funniest thing is that moment they realize with an automatic, that you can shoot a clip a hulluva lot faster than you can load one.

I have guns and I have kids. My kids are too young for rifles. 6 and 3. I have a bb gun for them to shoot and I wouldnt leave them unattended with it. They never go looking for it if nobody is around. They never ask to go shoot it. If I grab my shotgun they either want to come hunting or they ask to shoot the bb gun. My daughter has a .410 she hasnt shot yet, but she will this year.

Had an Aunt that killed a man. was in Alaska in the 1940's when she was home alone with sick twin infants and a couple other kids under 6. Husband was off on a drilling site when a guy started trying to break in. She warned him through the closed door several times, finally she fired through with a 12ga a couple times. She drove the 20 miles into town next morning brought back the sheriff. Said sheriff took one look at the guy, said, "no worries, he's an escapee, give me a hand loading him up would ya" and was the last she ever heard about it.

PBS squeals louder fwiw. NPR had a big initiative under bush to try to move away from gov't funding. I wish they would just refuse all of it.

Told story of a toddler reaching into mom's purse for a piece of candy and accidentally shooting himself with mom's gun.


This sounds like total bullshite. A toddler is not strong enough to pull the trigger of standard guns. Plus, the actions for grabbing candy & squeezing a trigger are completely different. Just more lies by anti-gun lunatics.

I grew up in a house with guns and my parents showed me where they were. They taught me to never play with guns. I had toy guns, but I knew that real guns were not toys. If I had ever touched one of the real guns, I would have been punished. All it takes is a little common sense. If both the parents & the kids are lacking in that area, then it is just natural selection taking its course.

As a kid, I hurt myself more jumping off furniture or riding bikes off ramps. I guess liberals will want to ban those next. They've already taken away merry-go-rounds & monkey bars. We would have made fun of kids that wore a helmet & pads to ride a bike in my day. We're raising a bunch of weaklings in this country. It'll be easier for the left to take over & implement their all-encompassing state when multiple generations are too weak & scared of getting hurt.

Oh yeah...Obama invites BLM into the WH manifold times and sends the Iranian Mullahs 150 Billion in cold cash...and that's okay.

Libs just show sane people how seriously delusional they have become. No wonder they'll never win another POTUS election. Or the House. Likely the Senate too.

If you have kids and don't have a gun, you're don't care about their safety.

It's easy to say things like that.

So, all of rural America is plagued by bad parents, bad spouses, and bad neighbors?
