Gun Control Reform Activism

I guess it's a snap judgment that way too many people have access to guns who shouldn't have such access. And every single person out there who is aware that there are guns in the home of an aging parent should read the OP, as well as his reply (#58) to me as a huge wake-up call.

Hardly anyone actually needs a gun. For all of the claims that it provides safety, let's review again how many thousands of people are killed every year by guns. What is the multiple of that number that are those wounded or maimed by guns? The sheer presence of guns in the household are incredibly dangerous, regardless of the ages of household members or their emotional or intellectual status.

No one should be terribly surprised every time some innocent is shot, or even threatened by a gun. Far too many people think it's a trivial price to pay. I don't. I think it's a terrible price to pay.

And I think I am entitled to continue posting here, thank you very much for your concern.
