We have a terrible gun shortage in our society. This shortage causes murders and mass murders in places like schools, bars, and churches. The only way to stop these tragic gun deaths, is to have more guns, more gun rights, and more people with guns.
The tragedy isn't with too few guns. It's with too many guns. So many that a 9 year boy and an 11 year old boy found one in a shed.
They say that Landry Oliver, a student at Marlow Elementary, was shot with a .22-caliber rifle as he and an 11-year-old neighbor where playing in Oliver's backyard. The Savannah Morning News reports (http://bit.ly/1cBi5eQ ) that the rifle had been in a shed.
Left in a shed. Wanna tell me that the owner was irresponsible and not a typical gun owner?
I don't believe that.
On a single day in December of 2012, 3 people were arrested at the Atlanta airport in a period of a few hours. Three people who forgot something. What was the something? They forgot where they kept their gun.
Could have been in a shed, maybe? Where children could find it?
Well, if you're so damned stupid as to walk through federal metal detector with a hidden gun ... maybe you would mindlessly leave your gun on the hood of your car. In a shed. In a potted plant. Disassembled with the parts hidden inside three stuffed toys?
More guns will mean more gun deaths.
