Right so do we allow a child to use a knife without showing him how to use it??
My son was given a safety training course on how to handle a knife.
Do we allow just anyone to use dynamite around the house??
OMG! you allow properly trained people to use dynamite around the house? That is screwed up.
Can just anyone drive a car without passing a test to prove they are capable of doing so??
On private property, Yes.
Did you allow your children to bludgeon it's siblings?? Or do you consistently attack your neighbor with a knife or bludgeon them when they annoy your??
Can you not go more than a hundred words without personifying good law abiding people as the bludgeoning scum that lurks in the shadows of your reality?
So why allow anyone to purchase & use a gun before they can prove they know how to use one, to not get a license for one or buy one without a background check, without passing a test on how to use one. To know enough to lock it up securely when not in use, to keep it out of reach of children, know the rules on storing a gun and bullets separately, etc. etc.
I've done all the safety training, background checks, and I go beyond the minimum legal requirement for safe storage. Yet, all I seem to get from your ilk is more disdain. It is like you are disappointed that I haven't murdered or raped someone.
We can say a car doesn't get into an accident by itself, but how safe would anyone be on the road without traffic signals, stop signs, reasonable speed limits, driving lessons or proving themselves capable of knowing how to drive??
Less safe than you would be at a gun show. LOL
It is not me that has the comprehension problem but those who believe the US should continue on with their gun laws as they are!!
Yep, and your grand mother must have supported prohibition.
For goodness sake, they have by far the worst record of loss of life due to their lack of laws.
That is ridiculous. Back that claim up with some sort of proof.
And exactly how many times, have you ever had occasion to use one against a gun toting criminal?
Exactly the same number of times that I've used a fire extinguisher to put out a house fire, a defibrillator to save a heart attack victim, a generator to survive an ice storm, a spare tire to fix a flat, and a life jacket to save a drowning child. An let us not forget my life insurance policy, I have never had occasion to need it, in fact, I am starting to wonder if it will ever do me any good.
You do not live in the US and very few Canadians ever encounter a gun toting criminal.
That is because most of the gun toting Canadians are not like the boogie man under your bed. Your paranoia grows deeper by the minute.
