Legislation should never be about depriving law abiding citizens of something, but rather taking those things away from criminals.

This is just sad!! Why must this have to be show cased over a few unresponsible individuals.  Why dont they show some impressive kids who know how to safely handle them and thier friends stupidity if it occurs. I constantly educate and train my kids in firearms safety or situations that might occur when I'm not around or when they are with there friends. They can recite the first few rules of firearms safety on command

Irresponsible behavior gets better ratings than responsible behavior. People would rather watch video of a reckless driver than of a safe driver. Yes, it is sad.

example
people watch honey booboo and other reality crap for the "drama"
rather than watching shows about the good things
i will admit to watching "undercover boss" and "secret millionaire" because they highlight people making good things out of bad situations
but for the masses, the ratings comes from things that will be talked about at the water cooler

1.7 million homes with children have a loaded and unlocked firearm. Wtf
Where do they come up with these statistics?
Do they have a survey after you buy a gun if you have kids and if you do, do you lock up your guns?

lets face it people, for every responsible gun owner there are probably two or three that are not responsible. We've all seen them.

Its just like owning a car. Some people take driving a vehicle very seriously because we know how quickly it can and will end in disaster if you do not. Other people seem like they just could not care less.

People get complacent and lazy.

Kinda like those that leave their kids in the car with the windows rolled up thinking, "I'll just be a minute.." which turns into an hour later.

Child firearm deaths are a statistically insignificant form of accidental death in almost all ages.

If you have children and have not asked the parents where your children frequent about potential hazards in their home, then I think you are a shit bird parent.

91,000 Children Per Year Treated for Accidental Poisoning from kitchen and bathroom cleaners and fluids.  Should we ban the sale of these too? People cant even keep easily accessible known poison from there children. Its called common sense and educating them about it.
unfortunately the world is full of stupid people.

==================
I guess that makes me a shit bird parent.
On the other hand, I never waterboarded my neighbor to find out what's in their closet.
None of my neighbors asked me what I have in my closets either. I guess that makes all of us shit bird parents too.

If you don't care enough about your children or family to be familiar with the hazards where your kids play, sleep, and hang out - that's on you.  I feel it's irresponsible to not be aware of the hazards and at least be informed that there are safeguards in place that may protect your investment.

Knowing that there are guns, pools, animals, etc. is prudent so that the possibilities and dangers associated can be addressed.

As a father of 4 (at least :D) aged 20-37 I believe that teaching your kids is easier than trusting the neighbors.
