278. Aw, c'mon...don't you think that argument is a little weak? Our sons are still living, ages 33 &36
It just requires communication and education. And, quite frankly, our son and DIL live in Spotsylvania (beside Fredericksburg) and on one of our visits, they took us around to the sites where the DC sniper had randomly killed people. I can tell you that it was an eerie sight and feeling to see bullet holes in the plate glass windows at one of the gas stations. My son and DIL both grew up around guns, and they know that they are not toys. I have to agree with an earlier poster that I believe many of the people who protest gun ownership are ppl who have never possessed guns--and maybe are even afraid of them--and maybe have not lived in a high-crime area. I, for one, am happy that my older son and DIL are now licensed to carry concealed weapons--particularly where they live.

As far as "Ain't Freedom Grand!" Yes, it is.

Peace.
