That's just crazy talk, sal. The mess we're in with kids/shooting themselves or others is obviously because kids today just don't listen or take their responsibility for adults' loaded guns seriously enough.
We probably wouldn't be in this mess if parents would dole out more whoopins, ban or enforce stricter rules in regards to toy guns. and give kids their own real guns and ammo at 7-years-old. That makes much more sense than expecting parents to be responsible for protecting their own kids from their own loaded guns by locking up the weapons/tools.
Or........ maybe, extreme gun enthusiasts could keep their kids locked up in little cages to protect their guns from the irresponsible little bastards.
You all fucked up or something today? I think you are missing my point. I am not saying it is all on the lack of parenting. I am saying that is probably a part of it. There is no silver bullet for this issue. It will take efforts from all sides to solve this. Jesus Christ, work with me a little here instead of bashing all the fucking time.
