So I get an email from one of my sons friends parents inviting him to a sleepover birthday party... She lists how there will always be an adult there and all, and then she states that they have no firearms in the house... It got me thinking... There are a group of people who don't respect firearms, leave them accessible to young kids, and generally neglect basic safety principals, inevitably an accident happens because someone was careless, left wing media reports in the most anti 2A way possible, and then you've got a state-load of moms all freaked out over weather anyone in the bloody neighborhood has a gun.
It got me thinking why people need more training to drive a car than own a firearm. I cant believe I just asked that question on NES for obvious reasons, but people need X number of hours behind the wheel of a car, and they need to pass a written test and even a drivers test, yet for owning a firearm, you need 10 hours of training and you can buy a gun. Do you guys see 10 hours as sufficient? Would more training = less neglect, or are idiots going to be idiots no matter what you do?
For Gods sake don't kill me for asking this question. I don't want any more regulations or restrictions, but in liberal crazy MA, why so little training needed to own a gun. I almost made another username for this question...
