    What a bunch of crap, the kids who play with guns they find in a closet are usually the kids who find guns in a closet. simple as that.

    So many sentences and anecdotes to describe “gun safety”. You know what gun safety really is? Do not fucking keep a gun in a closet.

    And if it is not you but grandpa who keeps them, Keep the children away from him. The sooner you all stop normalising this bullshit and do something about it, the sooner America will start moving away from schools shootings etc.

      You can’t be with your kid at all times in all places, and you can’t always control their environment. Teaching them to be responsible around firearms in a place where they may come across them is important.

      Simply telling them they’re bad is no different than abstainance-only sex education.
