(7,887 posts)There ARE a lot of responsible gun owners that DON'T abuse their 2nd amendment rights by infringing on others or making rash and stupid decisions.
BUT even worse than the public mass murders which get huge attention and might be difficult to prevent in any case... are all the (preventable) "accidental" shootings that happen when kids get into their parent's guns, which is pretty preventable when people lock their guns up and teach their kids responsible behavior around guns.
I think we could get responsible gun owners to dialog on making others demonstrate that level of competence in order to carry a weapon. Which would be better than having shout at each other conversations at Starbucks with an idiot carrying a loaded weapon in to pick up a double espresso.
