The right tool for the right job. If you have a gun, your kid gets it, and kills someone, you are guilty of murder. Bar none. As a parent, if you're stupid enough to leave a gun lying around for your kid to get it, you are responsible for anything that might happen. That being said, Dad always had his guns within fairly easy reach. If I wanted to, I could have taken one down and used it. However, I had the fear of the wrath of Dad in me and didn't (except once -- and the wrath came true, so....). Quality parenting needed or suffer the consequences. I see no need to carry a handgun myself because I live in a small town and am relatively free of danger, but I can understand those that do. If you carry a gun for protection, you are responsible for anything that might go wrong with it, including accidents. Be prepared to take the blame. It's the risk of getting attacked vs. the risk of something going wrong. If you can't accept the risk of accidents with such a dangerous tool, don't carry one. One thing I am sick and tired of is everyone trying to protect everyone from everything. All this does is make for a stupider group of people because we've let the idiots live. Nature weeds out those who aren't fit enough to make it, and by trying to save everyone from everything, we're defeating the weeding process. It's like the overuse of antibiotics and antibacterial things. If we continue to use these, we're just going to get resistant bacteria. I sense an upcoming global plague of something or other...SARS was just the beginning. We're far too reliant upon medicine and technology to keep every single person alive. Yes, it's sad that Dave was killed because he let his friend try to shoot beer cans off his head. But Dave was an idiot. He had it coming. He clearly didn't need to reproduce. In related nature, hunting. I don't hunt anymore myself because the few times I killed something I didn't really get any pleasure out of the act, so I stopped. I love target shooting, though. If you are a hunter and want to go kill stuff, so be it. Just eat what you kill, be kind to nature, obey the regulations, and don't shoot at things you can't identify. Our nature scientists are very good nowadays and I think they have the art of controlling known populations of animals down to a science. I don't think hunting will hurt anything that industrialization won't eventually kill off anyway. If you're a hunter that doesn't obey the laws, shoots protected animals, or otherwise hunts illegally, may you have your eyes gouged out with dung beetles, you worthless pond scum. |
