At least 157 people were killed and 270 were injured last year in unintentional shootings by children, according to Everytown, an advocacy group for firearm safety.

    Ban and buy back. Education campaign about how crime rates are declining and owning a gun just increases the likelihood that you or someone else in your household gets shot by it, or your lovely trigger happy police force.

      I’m really trying to wrap my mind around this. You are honestly opposed to teaching children that the guns that we currently have are dangerous?

      Again… I’m not saying anything against banning guns. I’m just trying to discuss what we can do in the here and now before that.

        My countrymen and women did not grow up with gun safety classes, but we did have guns. We got rid of the guns. Weeeeee!
