Exercising the Second Amendment right to bear arms brings great responsibility, and storing a gun properly can save a child’s life. For the one-third of American homes that have guns, that means locking them up — unloaded — and locking up all ammunition in a separate place. A new study in JAMA Pediatrics, a journal of the American Medical Association, confirms that doing those simple things could prevent nearly a third of gun deaths involving kids by accident or by suicide. Taking those practical steps would have saved thousands of children’s lives in the past decade.
Ed.: An unloaded, locked gun is less effective a tool than a rock. |

Since when are doctors experts on firearms and self-defense? If I felt ill, I certainly wouldn't go to an FFL for advice.
Doctors: STAY IN YOUR LANE. |

TO REMEMBER |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
