What a bunch of crap, the kids who play with guns they find in a closet are usually the kids who find guns in a closet. simple as that.
So many sentences and anecdotes to describe “gun safety”. You know what gun safety really is?
Do not fucking keep a gun in a closet.
And if it is not you but grandpa who keeps them, Keep the children away from him. The sooner you all stop normalising this bullshit and do something about it, the sooner America will start moving away from schools shootings etc.
You can’t be with your kid at all times in all places, and you can’t always control their environment. Teaching them to be responsible around firearms in a place where they may come across them is important.
Simply telling them they’re bad is no different than abstainance-only sex education.
Wtf is this comparison with sex this is the second time I see it in this thread sex doesn’t kill you and I am not sure I want to know how you expose safely your kids to both firearms and…sex?!?
Maybe compare it with something else that is dangerous and you don’t need to keep in your home. People might keep in their homes but as a parent you should try to be aware and make sure it doesn’t happen. I don’t know maybe hard drugs?
So what do you do to prepare your kids to that, is simply telling them they are bad not enough? Do you make sure they are prepared and familiar to be around hard drugs?
It’s like sex because it’s something that they’ll come across when they aren’t with you. But unlike guns, sex isn’t instantly deadly if done wrong. So teaching about sex can be more conceptual and when the time comes they can stumble their way through it until they figure it out.
With guns, they shouldn’t go in blind because they’ll kill themselves or someone else. So they should be taught how to safely handle and disarm a weapon.
So not like sex at all, and you don’t handle it like sex at all either? Great comparison.
Now how about you look after your kids so they don’t “stumble” upon a fucking gun, the same way you’d do with a crack pipe:
If you keep that kind of shit at home (guns or crack pipes), take rid of it
If grandpa does, not allowed to have the kids at home until they get their act clean
The neighbours, school friends? How about we talk to them and make sure there are no guns (or crack pipes) lying around at their place. If there are any, probably a good idea for little Timmy not to go play in that house.
