I get that Rebecca. There's a bit of a generational divide in our family when it comes to guns. Cody's dad and his uncles all love them, Cody and his bro not so much. One of uncles collects cannons and dueling pistols, but for most of them it's all about guns that actually shoot that they can carry around with them for protection.
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

Oh and their guns are emphatically unsecured! Always bugs me when we are there.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Well, if it's secured, it's not protecting you.

He's lukewarm on an assault weapons ban, because "they're already out there".
That's why buyback programs exist when the funding for them is available. For any gun.

Hey, you ain't gotta convince me. I'm the one over here spouting off terms like "epidemiology of gun violence" and whatnot.

This is what I never understand- if you are a safe gun owner, you are not going to be able to use that gun in, say a home invasion except under special circumstances (like you are hiding near the gun safe). You might still be able to use them for self-defense, if there is an apocalypse or some need to overthrow the government. But by its nature, I do not see how you can use a gun to "protect your family" and be safe. (Yes, again I am the illogical one !?!?)

And that's why so many toddlers shoot people.
IN OTHER NEWS, an unAmerican coworker just asked me where "touch base" comes from, and then I started googling, and wow the word "touch" looks so wrong now I find it hard to believe it's a real word. (And it looks like probably baseball but maybe the military is the answer?)

Well my dad's guns are primarily for hunting. So access to them is not his concern.

Nah, it's because they're shifty as hell.

msbelle- I wasn't talking about the hunting people- I think you can be a safe gun owner and hunt or shoot for sport, but not if your intended purpose is protection and defense of your home.
