Oh, I forgot to add that we should also ban prescription drugs! These are frequently misused by children and cause much death and sadness in our country.

"This also includes training which I assume instructs people on how to stow the weapons"

I'm sorry, but when it comes to guns in the home of children we need to do more than "assume" people have been propery instructed on where to store their guns, and just because they have been instruction doesn't mean anything.

I believe that the requirements in effect now are more than enough. This also includes training which I assume instructs people on how to stow the weapons so that it doen't get into the hands of children. I like the idea that more people have concealed weapons. That will make the criminals a little more leary to attack to bother law biding citizens.

My guns have killed less people than Ted Kennedy's car.

There sure ought to be restrictions on liberal Democrat congressmen, senators and presidents taking our personal liberties and rights away!"

And just what rights and personal liberties have those nasty liberals taken away?

Home invasions are rare, very rare in population areas where it is known the public is well armed. I grew up in the Pacific NW where just about everyone has at least one if not more firearms - and they know how to use them. Criminals don't dare come around when people are home and rarely, very rarely, are people attacked or robbed on the street too. A great deterrent to crime is a well-armed and well-trained citizenry IMO.

Heck, Gertz, you driving your car has as much if not more potential to kill an "innocent" person. Let's take your car away and ban you from driving, based on that logic!

Is placing each bullet fired, precisely where I intend for each to go.

"Why must people try to put restricitons on law abiding people that choose to bear arms for what ever reasons?"

While I can think of many reason, let me hit you with this one: every gun sold is another gun that has the potential of being stolen, and used to kill an innocent person. That's reason enough for me.
