GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY?

[HairOfTheDog]

HOTD, I have Never seen 1 advert, billboard, commercial, flier, poster, whatever that addresses parents with kids in the house and how to protect them, safe their weapons or keep them from the kids hands, not 1 ever.

Several public service ads and commercials have been posted upthread, Six.

Brochures/fliers with information on gun safety in the home are abundant and easily accessible. You may not have seen them because you haven't had small children in a long time or you weren't looking. I think they actually make the most sense in terms of effectiveness because they can be taken home and can be target marketed (about 35% of homes have guns in them and not all of them have children).

I agree that education is important. The brochures could be handed out to each person who purchases a gun -- that would make sense to me (at no cost to the gun retailer/distributor).

Anyway, the gun safety at home brochures are available at hospitals that provide children's health care, churches, family/social service organizations, on-line to be downloaded for any individuals or organizations to reproduce and distribute, etc...

Here are a couple of examples.

The problem I had with little o and his "Expanded Background Checks" is all the other bullshit. Enforce the laws we have, if someone sells a gun to an asshole punish them for that, if someone leaves their guns around for kids to get hold of punish them for that and do something to educate the ignorant fuck. Make the education Required before a sale, but nod't make is so onerous on us law abiding citizens. Put the effort where it is needed, not a shotgun approach. This shouldn't be hard.

I'm sincerely interested in what you feel was so onerous to you and other law-abiding gun owners, along with hearing what F.U. considers all those huge hoops that gun owners currently have to jump through.
