What do you think people are doing with all of the assault weapons and ammunition

[Wolf Frankula]

66. Gary Has No Kids

He keeps the firearms under lock and key, unloaded. The ammunition is kept in a fireproof safe (Yes I know that anything will burn if you get it hot enough,) that is always kept locked. The house has security grilles and metal core doors. Except for the two self defense pistols, the weapons are never loaded except on the range. And anyone who IS allowed to handle them, (never a child) is always supervised, not allowed to load them and reminded that this is NOT a toy. Smoking is never allowed anywhere in the house.

The problem I have with firearms is with the owners. Far too many gun owners have NEVER taken a firearms safety class, throw loaded firearms down on chairs or car seats, treat them like toys. I would like to see safety courses MANDATORY before you can buy a firearm. We require you to show you know how to drive a car before you can get a drivers license. Why shouldn't you have to show you know how to handle a firearm safely before you can own a gun?

I am not anti-gun. My wife and I have pistols, I have a 1950s Lee-Enfield rifle I target shoot with and we have black powder firearms. Our ammunition is kept locked in safes and the black powder for the pistols and musket is kept locked in a safe in the garage which is separate from the house. But a home invader is more likely to be met with a sword than a gun. The wife and I know how to use them.

What I don't understand is why Gary started buying automatic weapons. He has never told me.
