Sound and Fury |
Before parents send their kids over here, I ask whether they've been exposed to Eddie the Eagle, whether they know safe gun-handling skills, and how they're likely to react if they happen upon a firearm. "I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here." -- Ronald Reagan, Farewell Address, Jan. 11, 1989 Si vis pacem para bellum There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.

The approach I took was to educate the hell out of my kids. To this day, any of them would be able to tell you what to do if they come across an unsecured gun. At a friends house, or anywhere. In short: 1, 2, 3 Don't touch it Don't let any of your friends touch it Tell an adult I don't have any problem with a parent asking me. I get the risk. If I had a pool, I would get them asking how we approach the risk of kids walking into that (think very young kids here). It doesn't have to be a political-cultural issues. It's a simple safety thing. We all know this truth (regardless of guns), there are a lot of dumb people out there.  | |||
