Hyperbole for hits. Sorry I clicked.

He bypassed the real problem, the responsibility of the parents to keep the guns away from the children and stay in charge.

Here's an example of responsible parents.

End of story.

Hyperbole? I dunno bout that. There 2 incidents this past 3 weeks where a child under 6 shot a sibling to death with a gun from their own home.
Disgusting and shameful.

You're mistaken.

I hadn't said "Guns AROUND Kids...
...I'd said "Guns FOR CHILDREN."


Not surprisingly,
The "Crickett" Site
has pulled down their WebSite,



however, traces of Gun Powder
still remain lingering in the air...

As always it's the one or two extreme stories that color the whole wall. But this is an issue that honestly makes me ashamed of my trade. It's no different than the way the tobacco industry used to market to kids (remember Joe Camel?). There's no denying that that the earlier you can convert a consumer, the more loyalty you're likely to reap. So let's start promoting kid-sized chain saws, Barbie arc welding kits, toddler-sized Lear jets...

I agree with you that at such young ages, it's the parents' job to teach their kids responsibility and safety, and to monitor their activity like white on rice. But still... There's got to be more practical limits on stuff like this.

Easy to do
when the same story
is splashed all over the place.

On the other hand there are more kid on kid
killings, accidentally & otherwise than most people
are aware of.

2 kids I used to play with whenever we visited my
Dad's people in the suburbs of Birmingham parted
company when one took the top of the others head
off while doing what we were all too familiar with
them doing, playing "bang-bang" shoot'em up all day
every day with toy guns.

I was back in Jersey at the time, but my aunt related
the story to us during one of our last conversations.

Don't ask me why at some juncture they picked up
two guns (as opposed to"Rifles") that had always
been in the closet... one was a Civil War musket,
the old single shot ram-rod, pre-rifling affairs
...the other a shotgun. One of them pointed the
musket at the other and pulled the trigger......
...well, I'll leave the rest to your imagination.

On another note,
I've had 2 uncles shot to death, one in 'Jersey
the other in Birmingham... one was gang related
the other fighting over woman.

I'll leave it to you to figure out which was which.

La Pierre ? ?

I don't think he is the problem - its really NRA membership = that needs some tweaking.

Polls of NRA membership says that they do not agree with their leadership.
