Glad you're here, and a GREAT point you make.

And I would add - if you're too lazy and/or negligent to check first and make absolutely dead-on CERTAIN it isn't loaded, especially with kids around, then your precious fucking 2nd Amendment "rights" should be taken away PERMANENTLY. And you should be locked up so the rest of us around you are still somewhat safe. You simply should NOT have guns around in the presence of children. Go play with them in private, so the only person you hurt is yourself, grandpa.

This makes ome heartsick. All of these stories do. Skidmore Jul 2013 #1

Reference to the fact that today's gun culture is not yesterday's gun culture, I would assume. ieoeja Jul 2013 #23

Which is why we need to push back against the insanity that now rages in that culture. ieoeja Jul 2013 #25
Yep. Law-abiding gun owners are quickly disavowed when they make a mistake. Orsino Jul 2013 #21
Grandpa should have all his guns taken away, and face charges. bettyellen Jul 2013 #7
If you take out a gun to clean it, wouldn't unloading it be the first thing you'd do? winter is coming Jul 2013 #8
You don't have your guns out at all Mariana Jul 2013 #20

If you can't determine whether or not a gun is loaded, you shouldn't have one. EdwardSmith74 Jul 2013 #13

Even if you don't have a clip in it, there could still be a chambered round. EdwardSmith74 Jul 2013 #16
And you very likely wouldn't pull it out and have it lying around in the open calimary Jul 2013 #17
