I don't have a license but i know how to handle a rifle and actual like going shooting. I'm actually better at it then my DH. Our kids have gone shooting as well (with assistance). I think Northerners just have a different view on guns.
Alot of my friends and family live down south and own guns and carry daily (men and women) and never have issues. It is only the criminals who should not have a gun that cause problems.
I disagree. While many people don't have issues, there are many accidental shootings each year, about 20% of which involve children.
Negligence on the parents part!!!!!
Yes I am sure there is some negligence involved but even the best of parents have moments of bad judgement, which is why I personally would never have a gun in my house or allow my child to go to a home in which I knew there was a firearm present (the exception being one of the parents is in law enforcement or the armed forces). And the other 80% of gun accidents which involve adults probably have many cases where the victim is not the person that was negligent with the gun.
Let's be real, people are stupid and people do stupid things. I guess my opinion is that I'd personally rather not allow all those idiots to be able to have a gun even if it's at the expense of the responsible people having one. Just my opinion.
If a bad guy wants a gun he will get it no matter what. Just like drugs. You try to stop their resources, they will find it elsewhere with no problems.

Yes I completely agree. I am not against guns for that per se - I just think that people in general don't understand that the risks of gun ownership almost always outweigh the benefits. I am not talking about keeping guns out of the hands of criminals, I'm talking about keeping them out of the hands of stupid Americans.
