Gun control & Children

Gun control is a very touchy subject. There are  many ifs and buts in there that no one can have a perfect yes or no to it. What I think is … guns are like everything in the world that we use. Anything we have can use as a weapon. Education is the key to  gun control. Hide your guns so your kids can’t get them!!! NO WAY .. EDUCATE your children in safe firearm handling and their dangers!!

If a child just sees guns on a tv show or movie.. That is all he is going to think about a gun ..  .. but if you teach them differently, they cannont make an uneducated decision to use a firearm. Children are smarter than people think .. give them a little more credit than “hide it  from them and maybe they will never know.,” RIGHT… they know it all. It’s just like everyhting else, teach them wrong & right and more than likely, they will not make the wrong decision. It’s up to the parent. Take the time with your children to teach them . Parenting = Time .. if you don’t have the time.. don’t produce children. As for gun control on the streets .. we will never control that. Yes, keep your guns locked up in a safe .. that can and will make a  difference .. but a criminal will always get what he wants however he has to do it… It’s like the fight on drugs..  a waste of time and money because no matter how hard we fight it .. people are going to make the decison to buy them however and where ever they can.

But like I said if your going to have a gun in the house. Teach your kids that it is not a toy , take them out to the range & let them shoot it. The more you try tgo hide it & keep it a big secret ot mystery , the more apealing it will be to them if & when they find it.
