20. Suffer? I Bet They Will - They Brought Kids To This

This didn't just happen. Someone left a gun lying on the picnic table for anyone to grab. I guess I missed out on fun things like target practice in my youth. Perhaps that's one reason I'm still alive. I guess I'll never know, nor would I want to.

But the point of my post is that the gun will live on. And I'm sure they place some value on that, and would be "dead" set against anything which would have infringed upon their right to take their 11 & 12 year old sons to go shoot off guns.

And I'm also certain it won't stop the 11 year old from shooting again, but perhaps from now on he'll be a bit more careful. You see, guns can be dangerous in addition to being a fun way of spending a Saturday afternoon.
