All Hail The Second Amendment

All Hail The Second Amendment
"Ready for immediate use in home protection" means available to four-year-olds. Unstored guns are a sign of irresponsible gun ownership. You can't have it both ways, ready for immediate use AND safe.

Better, but I've seen those beat with the foil off a stick of gum.

I'm not happy with the proliferation of guns in the US, but those horses got out of the barn decades ago. I look at what is possible, not ideal.

Fuck you. Eight year olds can open those safes with a piece of aluminum foil, instructions on Youtube. They are a farce.

I'm not giving up anything. I'm willing to compromise as long as it reduces gun access in some way.

I note from the linked article...

"The harsh reality of gun ownership in America is a public health issue, because the majority of households with
legal firearms are not safe. They aren’t safe because having a gun in ones home is considerably less safe than
not having a gun. And as recent analysis has shown, almost 85 percent of households with firearms (and children)
do not properly secure those firearms in a lock box or safe. So, for every person that tells you how secured they
keep their firearm/s in their home, there about 8 or 9 others who don’t."

This train of though has been expounded multiple time during the past decade in America.     And still its citizens
won't listen or act upon it.  Seriously, what allegedly sane person keeps a loaded gun under their mattress or in the
back seat of a car?

Only an American.    Dodgy

I'm not sure what you mean exactly by being prepared to "compromise" but at the same time implying you
wouldn't "give up" your guns. What compromises would you—as a firearms owner—be prepared to make?

I voted yes for I-639
I vote in every election, and have consistently supported gun control legislation.

I see no need to have self defense guns. I don't hunt either, so I don't need a gun.

I work with local groups, we visit homes and talk to people directly about gun safety. We've local gun ranges to offer free storage of guns.

The same kind of people who shove loaded guns in their waistband and then are surprised when they blow their balls off.

https://www.newsweek.com/arizona-man-acc...rt-1236287

Quote:The Arizona Republic newspaper reported the incident occurred at around 6:30 p.m. after a semiautomatic handgun that was being held in the man’s waistband began to slip. The gun, which was not in a holster, discharged as he attempted to reposition it, the man told cops.


AT some point we have to admit the reality that a lot of 'Murricans are just plain fucking stupid.

So far we've got six hundred guns in storage and out of homes. That's since the Ferguson riots.
