My thoughts exactly
My mind is remembering a song
Teach your children well ...
I agree liberals who fear guns and own one but are unsure of how it works should keep them inaccessible to all members of the household who are ignorant of how they work, (including the adults) but I believe all households should teach the children and make firearms accessible to the kids who know what they are for and how they work and follow the safety rules and show maturity. I don't mean 2-year-olds, childproofing has its place, but after a certain age... who locks up the meat cleaver and butcher knife and scissors and ink pens and pencils and tapes foam on the corner of every table in the house ...
Instead, you teach them to not have the handle on the hot pan stick out over the stove and how to put the pot on the stove and not let your sleeve catch on fire and what do if there's a grease fire etc.
Many of our grandparents or great grandparents never heard of a trigger lock on a gun ... I guess you keep the key in a glass case on the wall and a sign over it ... In case of Indian attack/wild bear in the house...etc... break glass to get trigger lock key...
Oh wait, a child and broken glass ... hmmmm
