Should I lock up my knives? They are sharp and just "laying around". Should I put my car in a locked vault too? After all cars kill way more people per year than guns do, shouldn't they be under lock and key so no one steals them and gets injured? What about my pointed tools or heavy hammers, shouldn't they also be locked up at all times? Hammers and other blunt objects kill people ALL THE TIME!!
Someone could enter your home at any time, most likely a small child will walk in , grab your knife off the counter and slit his own neck by accident, just because you didn't put them in a vault.
WHat kind of subhuman are you to let children kill themselves with your implements of sharp pointy death. You sir are a merchant of death, mostly of little children!!
You should be ashamed to come here and espouse your ideas that your locked home should be able to keep small children out. Everyone knows that children just slip through the cracks, locked doors don't affect them!! Moron!!
A gun is a stand-off weapon, you are a fool, combine the two and you get gun kill statistics.
That is the most ridiculous shit I read this week. Speaking of weak, leaving your guns to anyone anytime, with or against you weakens your ability.
A kid will shoot a gun and not care where it is pointed, then say he didn`t do it or sorry,...but then it`s too late.
A locked up gun is useless, and that`s a good thing because locking it up means you don`t need to worry about it coming back to bite you.
It`s all about time and place, which you will never understand.
Of all the things you have listed above as grounds for your argument, only the gun will make me go for cover, that`s how stupid what you said and compared is. Now we can conclude why you leave your guns ...."laying around"
