Should it be OK to put a loaded pistol into a crib with a sleeping two year old? [View all]

I don't think even the most rabid gun nuts would say that would be OK. So we probably can agree on some gun control. In my opinion hundred round clips fall into the same catagory as putting a loaded gun into a crib with a two year old...We should be able to get a majority to express some common sense on gun safety measures without people screaming that we are taking away their guns..
